What it is: an interactive version of the book by Mercer Mayer (about 17 pages long).

What you do with it:three reading modes: listen to the narrated story with the words highlighted, read as a 'traditional' book and auto play (automatic reading and turning the pages). Tap the pictures to hear the associated words read out.

Additional activity: find grasshoppers and spiders hidden in the pages.

What we liked: the story. Original artwork. Picture-word associations. Professional narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use. Good navigation and reading options (easy access to single pages, words are highlighted when read by the narrator, it is easy repeat a paragraph). The option to record and share your own narration. The 'find the grashopper/spider' activity.

What we didn't like: the pages are very static: no animations (apart from zooming in and out), limited interactivity.
