Is It Any Good?
KIDS FIREMAN is a cute environment for kids to explore, but it is a bit quirky. It encourages kids to open the firehouse doors, slide down the pole, dress in firefighting gear, head out in the truck, and save a kitten from a tree, all by tapping and sliding on each page. It's almost like an interactive storybook, only without a story to read. Young kids will enjoy exploring the pages to find all of the interactive items, but it's not something they will want to play with over and over again unless they are really into with firetrucks. It is fun, but lacks depth and has some glitches. Its cost seems a tad high for what it has to offer.
