Fixed Review! Love these books!
This is the coolest thing! I got the app, scanned the cover and bam Goldilocks and The Velveteen Rabbit pop out of the cover...THEN they tell me to open the book and keep going on the adventure and nothing else happens. I hold the phone over the marked augmented pages and nothing happens (full page in view). I click the camera and video icons and it just saves videos and pictures of the flat hook page to my media. I can’t get the rest of the AR pages to work. Really disappointed. I would’ve bought many more of these books if it had worked. Two days after my first review, the developers answered below and the app updated. Now ALL of my books work! It took some trial and error to get started, but now all pages work when I flip them. This is the coolest and cutest thing I’ve seen. I can’t wait until my baby is old enough to read and interact with the books. Until the , mommy thinks they’re just awesome, and we will read the stories to my baby or look as the cool characters come to life. Thanks for the fast response and fix on the app! (We now own 4 of these books, and will be looking for others to make a complete set).

Really cool interactive app with books!
I bought this book not knowing about the interactive application until I got home. We ended up downloading the app and it is really neat and cool! Not only do the kids get a book but the interactive part makes the book come to life! I cannot wait until my 1 year old gets a little older to appreciate the app much more! Really cool idea!

Little red riding hood
Nice presentation of classic tale. I was a tutor in early intervention reading, I like the interaction in this book to help children with retention of story and interest in book. I would recommend this book for all ages but I think 3 and up will get the most from the interactive part. A fun way to introduce new technologies and still retain classic hands on books.
