I absolutely loved the Cd-ROM version at this game when I was a child, so I’m super excited to see that it’s still available on iOS for my nieces, nephews, and future children. It’s such a fun way to explore reading and word play and it’s incredibly interactive and engaging. Music is peaceful and the story books as a whole are not so overstimulating, as many games and shows are these days. The ONLY issue I’ve seen so far is that sometimes the return/back button as the home button do not work, so I’ll have to close the app and open again, which can be frustrating. If this could be fixed, I would have absolutely nothing to complain about! Livingbooks aka Wanderful Storybooks is an incredible blessing, especially in this day and age.
