Is It Any Good?
THIS TOO SHALL PASS is a lovely retelling of a classic folk tale. The narration is brilliantly performed and the accompanying animation is both gorgeous and eerily atmospheric. The app changes "camera angles" so you can have a different experience with each reading. While this particular story may not feel as unique or surprising as some of the others by publisher Moving Tales (Pedlar Lady, The Unwanted Guest), it is still a very endearing story with a classic feel. In its slower pacing, more philosophical tone, and higher-level vocabulary, this feels like a storybook aimed at older readers.
