What it is: an interactive version of the book by Dean Koontz (about 24 pages) + extra content (introduction and tutorial by Dean Koontz, and a photo gallery of the real Trixie).
What you do with it: 3 reading modes: read the book yourself, listen to the narration and autoplay.
Tap characters/objects and their name will be displayed and read out.
The book can be edited/personalized: you can change one of the character's name, color the pages and record your own narration.
What we liked: the story. Original illustrations. Reading features (picture-word associations, word highlighting etc). Extensive personalization options. Sounds and sound backgrounds. No distracting elements. Overall quality of the app.
What we didn't like: the pages are a bit static - we wish there were more interactive elements.
