Jack and the Beanstalk Interactive Storybook

My 3 1/2 yo grandson squealed with delight at the surprise that repeatedly popped up on each page. I had to read it again and again 3 times in succession and he wanted more! Very interactive

This is a great audio storybook with wonderful interactions for a child. The graphics are fantastic!! I hope to find more apps like this for my little girl!

Compared to other ipad books available, this is simplistic. Yes, there are lots of pages but do they do anything? Sounds are assigned to animals and things. Touch them, you get a sound recording. Yippee. A few pages have shape-matching exercises or light coloring. Yippee. Graphics are dull. I hate to say it but this is soooo 2009. I expect a lot more from an iPad book in 2011!

I have read lots of rave reviews about Jack and the Beanstalk. I too feel that the artistry, sound effects, and voiceovers are terrific. The storyline follows the traditional Jack and the Beanstalk story, while adding some very creative elements. The song in the middle is very cute. Kids love exploring the screens, finding the dancing chickens, and reading along. Educational and entertaining at the same time. Great job Ayars Animation team! Thank you for enriching our lives.

Kind of fun but no audio, no matter what I did. A little pricey for what I got.

My granddaughter's favorite game. She loves finding the hidden chick. Not sorry on this one.

I almost did not buy this book because of the complaints regarding the sound. Well, I took a chance and I also had problem with the sound. However, if you click on the links for the website they show you how to troubleshoot your issue. Lo and behold, sound! Even I had fun trying to figure out the “secrets” on the pages. My granddaughter is going to love this!

I have about 30 children's books on my ipad and this is my 5 year old daughter's favorite. Each page has lots of different interactive elements. For example, on the first screen shot above, the three mice characters can be dragged into their shape and they will sing a song. Each touch of the drain pipe produces bubbles that flow out and &quot;pop&quot; when pressed. Each page has lots of elements - there is even a matching game on one of the pages where it looks like a man's hand holding three beans. The number of interactive elements are huge and this is the book that my daughter always goes to, even after about 4-5 months. She also loved it when she was 4.<br/><br/>Another reviewer stated that she had expected more then animal noises, but there are much more than the animal noises, golden eggs play music, chicks sing, characters talk when touched and there are at least two long-ish games within elements that we have found. Amazing app - I came back to find it they have any others.
