I Love You Through and Through
Is It Any Good?
I LOVE YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH is a lovely storybook app that features a pleasant female narrator and lots of fun things to do on each page. Kids can tap the story’s characters -- a boy and his teddy bear -- or tilt the iPad left or right to have them make cute sounds, wave their hands, and splash water. The art is beautiful, and the interface is simplicity defined. However, the book was originally intended to be read by parents to their children as a means of expressing how much they love them. It seems just a little sad to have a strange, disembodied narrator filling that role. Consequently, it’s best enjoyed with the narrator option switched off. This is one parents should make a point of reading with their kids.

Did we miss something on diversity?
