Nice reading
Good interactive version. Program pauses at times and the last games am unable to play but overall the book is delightful.
IF YOU WANT YOUR IPAD TO CRASH, BUY THIS BOOK!
All it will do is cause your iPad to crash. That's it. Nothing else. All it does is crash and cause your iPad to shut down. It's as if the creators of this interactive book got together and said: "Well boys, what classic Dr.Seuss book can we use to really screw things up?" and one guy said "How about we use that A, B, C book he did? I know a programmer in Bora Bora that will make the iBook interactive for $2.43 and a Klondike bar." They all agreed and created the most crashable iBook ever. Buy the paper version. If you buy this piece of Flash know this: Your kids will never learn their A, B, C's. If they are lucky, they will get probably about as far as F. (If they're lucky. Like, blue moon luck lucky) since they can only go as far as 'F', the other kids who already know their A, B, C's will make fun of your kids because they only can go to 'F' causing them to live the rest of their lives as pariahs in society. Then, research will be done and one of the researchers will be doing a study on social pariahs and upon their findings they'll say: "Unbelievable. Every one of them had parents that bought a really really really crappy "interactive" iBook that was made with some software called 'Windows 74'. What a shame."
So bottom line: Pass or Pariah. It's your call.
iBooks is too Primitive for this Book
If your child is still developing the fine motor skills to flip pages and tap rather than swipe this book goes off the rails.
My daughter was scrolling wildly between the beginning and end of the book using the iBooks bottom pop up menu. She was tapping something but flipping pages by accident. Then trying to swipe back somehow managed to navigate out of the book to a different book I was reading. Many times. Regularly.
So you use guided access and that fixes it, right? No. That locks down the APP and the app is iBooks, so there’s no way to keep her from accidentally flipping over to parenting books or whatever else is in your library. Super frustrating for parent. Daughter is 2 years old btw.
On the whole I think she loved it, but I had to hover and help her get back to where she meant to be very often.
Apple needs to think about this very specific scenario and make it much better if I’m going to spend another $10 on a kids’ iBook.
