Chaperon Rouge de Grimm

Chaperon Rouge de Grimm: 3D interactive Pop-up book $4.99

Oh my gosh, now THIS is what I call an app!!!  I was so impressed with this app that if I had the money, I would buy all of the apps available from StoryToys.

My jaw dropped when I started reading this interactive book. First of all, I love that the book is available in 7 different languages in the same book ie. you do not have to purchase them separately:

There is a bit of passé simple in the story, but not much so the language seems easy enough to understand:

There is a nice voice that reads the story to you and then you turn the pages.There is background music as well. But the really impressive thing about this book is the pop-up panels (there are 9 of them total):

In these sections there are instructions for the child to follow interactively. Here you are supposed to help Chaperon Rouge tidy up. BRILLIANT! The one improvement I would make to this part is if the instructions were available to select in English as well, in case the child does not understand what he/she is supposed to do.

One panel did not seem to work properly:

Here, you are supposed to be able to manipulate the arrow at the bottom to make Le Bucheron run faster, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Below is a quick video clip of this app:

Overall, it was a very positive experience reading this book and I would rate this app 5/5 stars!
