What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Finding Nemo: My Puzzle Book turns a read-aloud book into an interactive puzzle and seek-and-find game for preschoolers. The modern-day classic story of the brave little fish's return to the sea from a dentist office fish tank will be delightfully familiar to Disney fans of the Finding Nemo movie, while the added puzzles and games add a new twist.

  • Ease of use4
    Generally intuitive to play. Parents can change settings to auto-turn pages if very young kids can't press the arrows to do so. If a child doesn't see which items are "fish tank treasures" to collect during the first time through the story, shadow figures will clue them in on the last page and then a prompt instructs them to go back and find more. But this book doesn't highlight the words as they are spoken, nor does it let kids hear words when touched.

    The Disney Pixar logos appear on the initial intro screen and storybook title page. Click on the mouse ears in the corner and a promo screen with info about other Disney-related apps pops up along with the ability to change the settings for this storybook. This is an app that tells the story of the Finding Nemo movie, and as such, can be seen as an advertising vehicle for that movie.

Is it any good?

 

Colorful illustrations makes FINDING NEMO: MY PUZZLE BOOK pop, and the drama of the original story isn't lost on the small screen. The puzzles and seek-and-find game interspersed throughout the story keep kids engaged. One of the app's options allows you to record yourself or your child reading the story, while other options enable you to change puzzle difficulty, auto-turn pages, and scroll through the story to find a specific page.
