Love this interactive book, and I am so glad it is available on the fire. My kids played it on the computer when they were young, but our new computers wouldn't play the old games. Even if kids don't read they will enjoy clicking around the pages. Our son with autism loves it.
This wonderful app is still fresh and wonderful for kids. My grandchildren have several apps on their tablets but almost all the time they play inside Harry and the Haunted House. Brilliant creation with great humor, art and music.
Awesome! Good book and better playtime.. my 4yr old agrees. Would also be fun for older and younger kids as well. We were laughing out loud in playtime mode. I espeacially liked the captain. There are lots of hidden surprises in playmode. I never pay $4..99 for an app but I thought I would live a little..glad. for it..

EXACT replica of the original game I played on CD-ROM way back in the day, except it has been refitted for touch. I'm glad it's been ported to the App Store and the Play Store. Nostalgia awaits!
