My Review:

It was illustrated beautifully with detailed images! To be honest, my Goddaughter is three years old and extremely hyperactive. She can barely sit still long enough to finish eating, so you can imagine my surprise when I allowed her to use the Elfishki and the Giant Cake Application I had recently downloaded on my iPad, and she showed great interest! She LOVED the detailed stories and the beautiful pictures. She enjoyed touching the screen everywhere to see what images allowed her to interact with, and all the noises they made! Its not just for entertainment, but its a GREAT educational learning aid as well! It asked her questions for reading comprehension, it allowed her to retell short portions of the story to be sure she was paying attention, it even allowed her to try and predict what would happen next. It seemed as though every page she was laughing and showing me what it was doing now. I know many mommy's out there are busy and could use a break to do laundry or dishes, so let me emphasize on ONE of the many GREAT features, the application actually reads to the child! Your not forced to sit there and read and then let them play, it reads and allows them to interact so that it gives you time to finish chores or to kick back for a bit. By the time it was finished, she was ready to do it all over again. The entire application was just phenomenal! Definitely a 5 out of 5 star rating!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
