Great read-along adaptation of a lesser-known Seuss classic.

Is It Any Good?
GERTRUDE MCFUZZ, a be-careful-what-you-wish-for fable, may not be one of Dr. Seuss most-read works, but it's still a wonderful story. And it is given a very fine ebook adaptation in this app. The story is beautifully read aloud by an excellent actress, with each word highlighted as spoken so kids can easily follow along. A great feature (included in all of Oceanhouse Media's Dr. Seuss book apps) lets kids tap on objects in the illustrations to see and hear the names of those things. This is one of Seuss's shorter books, but the lower price tag on the app reflects that.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
