Our new favorite app!

I downloaded this app for story time with my son and we spent over an hour playing around with everything. The music and voice over is really beautiful and its great that theres something on every page to interact with. Our favorite page is the page with the blackberries...its so much fun to squish them!!! Definitely our new favorite app!

Absolutely brilliant

If only Miss Potter were alive today, she would be overjoyed with what has been done to extend her basic ideas into an interactive media experience. Beautifully executed app, excellent narration, and nicely thought out to motivate children to learn to read the story. My daughter will love this. I look forward to further productions from this developer.

Best Children

My kids and I love all the childrens book apps out there right now but this one really shines bright above the rest. The kids are crazy about all the things to play with on every page. Such a beautiful book. The music and the voice are very well done. I had to literally pry the iPad out of my littlest ones hands to get him to go to bed! Highly recommend this one to all the parents and Beatrix Potter lovers out there.

Pop Out Trash

This app is broken. It wont load. All I get is a blank screen. Glad I only wasted 1.99 instead of 4.99. Major disappointment. Zero stars outta five.

Wonderful in every way

This book is BIG but its worth the download. My kids enjoy exploring each page to watch how objects react and to listen to the sound effects they make. They also love the real berries and leaves that pop out and the ability to push them around with their fingers. Having the book optionally narrate to you is a nice touch and the word repeat will be great when theyre older. Ive come across a lot of clever digital books out there but this one definitely takes the cake!

Great!

Very well done! Cant wait to show it to my granddaughter!

Wont open

The app will not open. Thats 5 bucks that could have gone to charity.

was unable to open the app at all...kept going back to my itouch screen...

PopOut! The Tale of Peter Rabbit

I have purchased a few hundred applications so far, and of all of them, this is the most enchanting. It looks great on the iPhone and the iPad and is truly delightful. I think that Beatrice Potter would be amazed and thrilled to know that her story is being brought to the world in this amazingly wonderful interactive, digital format. I highly recommend this app for the child in everyone!

Amazing!!

The nicest childrens book yet by far! The narration is really really nicely done, the artwork is incredible. The sound effects will really appeal to youngsters. The entire feel of this book is great. However...The app crashed randomly a lot at one point. A complete reboot of the ipad seemed to solve that though. It needs an update to fix that. Hopefully it will get fixed asap so as not to tarnish this apps reputation too much. Its very nicely done otherwise. Four stars. Id give it five if it werent for that issue.

Beautiful illustrations and narration

I love this application. The paper copy of this book is a staple in our house. This app does a wonderful job of rendering the illustrations in electronic form; they are bright and crisp. The navigation was easy for my three-year old to do. There arent lots of fiddly games built in, but on each page the child can press the illustrations and see them move slightly with accompanying sound effects; for example Peters bunny siblings giggle quietly on one page, or the cat meows. It was just enough to take advantage of the iPad format without detracting from the story. The narrators voice (which can be turned on or off) and intonation was perfect - she sounds a lot like Carey Mulligan. Ive downloaded several ebooks for my son, but so far this one is my favourite.

Doesnt work - Disappointed!

Very disappointed. Spent $4.99 on an app that doesnt work :(

Ad looked pretty but

I cant even open this app. It keeps crashing. Too bad since it was $4.99

Worth every penny

I just wanted to add my review as a couple of them were not too positive. Beautiful illustrations, nice to be able to turn the read to me on for the whole book or each page. A keeper.

Thanks for volume control

Love the volume control

great gift

Again, i got this as a gift, and my kid and myself enjoyed this. Great craftmanship & quality on this app. If you have iPad, this would be the one of the best apps to get. Great job!

Fantastic! The future of books.

The books interactive features are tastefully done. A pleasant amount of sound effects are blended in (bird calls, a bank of noises for different characters. This doesnt look slapped together to grab a quick buck. The charming story has been faithfully recreated, down to the great artwork on a paper-like background. The story can be narrated by a woman with a British accent who reads the story well. The words are highlighted as she reads. A nice feature is that you can touch any word and have it read aloud. There are well-placed icons that allow you to have the page reread or choose any page, but they dont take you away from the feeling of reading a real book. Id like to see other titles like this.

Want more books!

Its so good!

This is what the iPad was made for

If only all the iBooks were like this delightful application. My daughter (6 mo) and nephew (2 yrs) love this app. They have managed to bring an old favourite back to life in a way that is not obtrusive or gimmicky. A must have for any parent.

Senior gamer

Most impressive! My Grandkids absolutely love this app. Looking forward to others. Thank you.
