Amelia - Story Book for Kids

What is it: An interactive book (20 pages + 1 additional) about adventures of a smart little girl named Amelia and her animal friends.

What you do with it: listen to the narration or read the story yourself (you can switch off the narration in the menu). Play with interactive elements on every page (there are visual hints for most of them, but we can discover more, note: tilt the device to see full scene) and complete minigames (tic-tac-toe, 'repeat the melody', looking for Whine - the Terror of the Night using flashlight etc). Collect 3 stars hidden on every page to unlock the additional scene (it's not necessary to finisk the book).

What we liked: the concept, excellent illustrations, nice characters, plenty of interactive elements enhancing the story, proffesional narration, 2 language versions, visual hints for interactive elements, 'collect the stars' feature, easy operation and navigation (e.g. you can access any page from the menu), music and sound effects, lots of tiny details, overall look and feel of the app.

What we didn't like: words are not highlighted. The story is slightly scary so we recommend it to older kids.

Bottom line: great, engaging, beautifully illustrated, moody interactive story - highly recommended!

Free preview: if you are not sure, please try the free version of the app.
