5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Collection! February 10, 2012

By DMS

A good collection of Dr. Seuss storybook apps grouped under a single title.

The cost of the 5 story apps purchased individually would be $14.95 at their regular price, so you do save a few bucks.

On 2/10/2012, Oceanhouse Media discounted all of their Dr. Seuss storybook apps, so the same titles in this grouping can be purchased for $1.99 apiece or $9.95 for the five, which is an even better deal but also offers the ability to mix and match from their entire selection.

No disrespect to the first reviewer, but storybook apps offer kids plenty that library books can't, and for a great price comparatively, especially when considering the cost of paper books or the gas used to drive back and forth to the library.

In terms of interactivity, fun animation, and sheer entertainment, storybook apps are hard to beat. In addition, the educational value of being able to see, hear, and selectively repeat words or paragraphs with a touch cannot be understated for little readers. Storybook apps like these are a definite winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of books for young readers February 14, 2012

Having the option of narration or no narration is great. My son enjoys reading the books and being able to touch a word he doesn't know and learn on his own builds his confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Books Great APP February 11, 2013

You can not go wrong with Dr. Seuss books for beginner readers. The app works really well and is easy to navigate for kids who can't read or are just beginning. Some app's have to much reading for beginning readers to just navigate through the app but this one is very self explanatory. :)
