Is It Any Good?
It's hard to imagine an ebook version of Dr. Seuss's classic THE LORAX being done any better than this. The artwork is beautiful in its faithfulness to the original book, and the camera pans to just the right places at just the right moments. The reading is performed masterfully by an excellent voice actor. Highlighted words make it easy for kids to follow along. And the ability to tap on any item in the pictures and find out what it's called is a wonderful added bonus for budding readers. This version of The Lorax should set the standard for what a read-along app should be.
