The Adventures of Robin Hood
Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD's best feature is the animated storybook illustrations, which are both beautifully drawn and rich with each character's emotional expressions that help the story's tension and excitement come to life. It's nice to see Maid Marian take a more prominent role in helping Robin Hood escape the evil plans of Prince John than she does in some versions of this story. The sound effects and interactive elements also help enliven this story for kids who read it or have the story read to them. Some of the features, such as how to turn pages or what the different options actually do, must be discovered by trial and error, as the icons don't always make it apparent what they're used for. Overall, an engaging app that helps kids discover the magic of a classic tale.
