Grimm's Rumpelstiltskin - 3D Interactive Pop-up Book
Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin - 3D Interactive Pop-up Book brings the digi-novel to children, not only telling the classic story, but adding interactive pop-up elements that children will love to play with. The art is very well-done and the presentation is well-paced. The current version of the app, though, lacks a few features -- most notable, it does not read the story aloud. Children or parents will need to do so (and the dense language of the Grimm Brothers may slow some kids down). An update is being worked on, though, that developers say will add narration – and could boost the app’s educational elements.
