Wubbzy's The Night Before Christmas

What it is: an interactive storybook about 13 pages long (featuring the TV series character Wubbzy) plus extra activities: 3 minigames, 3 videos and a coloring activity. 'Read to me', 'read & play', 'just a book' (simple version with no interactions) reading options.

What you do with it: read the story yourself or listen to the narration. Touch objects on pages for simple animations and sounds. 3 minigames include: Santa's Sleigh Ride (catch flying presents while avoid obstacles), Wuzzle Tree Dress up (match the shapes of presents and decorations), Snowman Dress up (match the shapes of Snowman's accessories).

What we liked: the story, illustrations and animations, funny characters, sounds and sound backgrounds, nice variety of activities, easy operation, good reading options, the 'Just a Book' mode, overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: the interactions and activities will appeal only to younger kids (the 3 minigames are really simple). The education value could be higher.
