Jack and the Beanstalk Interactive Storybook App Reviews

Kids love it, I love it. And it passed the two week test Nothing more to say... Cant wait for future titles...

This is the best kids book Ive downloaded and Ive bought several. Very well designed. Please release the next book soon.

My four year old loves this story and app

The level of interactivity makes this version of Jack and the Beanstalk a compelling read. Ayars has set the bar high on the future of digital book consumption. Hurry up and develop more.:)

Best toddler game on the iPad hands down. My three year old and my two year old cant get enough of it after 1 month of near daily play. Well with the money.

This book is very well done. My 5 and 8 year old girls love it and ask for it every bedtime. Beware parents! Youll be pulling this one out a lot for the little ones. It even makes me laugh out loud in several places. I cant wait for the next one. Great job.

I concur with other reviewers. Its awesome! Thanks to Ayars animation for the excellent product.

The interactivity with the story and the hidden games make this endlessly entertaining for both my kids. The narrator is awesome, the characters speak when you touch them, there is a great range of music and songs. My kids love, love, love it!!! I truly wish all ipad books were like this. I went to buy another one right away and was disappointed to see that this is the only story Ayars Animation has put out! And that the only two other projects theyre working on wont come out for months!!! NOOOOO!!!!! I was ready to buy ten more! The price was not an issue because you could not get this kind of value for $4 at Chapters. Please put out more classics like this one. It makes for great family time. If youre wondering if you should buy it... BUY IT!!!!!!! You and your kids will love it. Thanks! Please make more!

I thought it was a very interactive and in depth storybook that kept my younger childrens attention. Worth the money I spent!

"smell blood" ..."grind bones to make my bread" etc. ... Leads to questions and Id rather not have that conversation with my child.

This is one of my toddlers go-to apps. It has lovely drawings and lots of little games. Hoping upgrades will have some additional interaction like the colouring page and mouse puzzle.

All the other a touch screen books are just bad rip off of this high quality app. Its no wonder it continues to make money. The is a great book. The cream always rises. Good work Ayers. I love this book. Its the standard.

This is the first childrens book I grab to show people new to iPad. Love it!

My 6 and 9 yr old love this book. They bring it up over and over again. The elegance of the images combined with the games make it something that they just really enjoy. The part of the book they seem to come back to over and over again is the part where you drag three three mice from the scene onto a template and when you succeed the mice start to make music and dance.

The reviews that give 4 stars must be done by friends and family of the developer. The book is a total rip-off. Very little interaction. Basically a picture book. Once through and your done. My 2 year old could care less about the "eggs". And how do the eggs relate to the story? I rate this APP -1 stars.

$3.99 seemed like a lot for an app. I was pleasently surprised. This did not have as much interaction as it said. But every page had something. Most of the time it only had one or two things to interact with, but those one or two things were entertaining. I highly reccomend this app.

First, the art looks sensational, and the audio (music, narrator, character voices) is excellent, and there are all kinds of lil surprises here and there, e.g. one page has to be colored in by tracing your finger around on it, other pages contain brief sung ditties by characters. A cool thing is that the text, which can be read by the parent to the child or can be played back, *highlights the entire chunk of language* as its being read. So as kids grow, they read the chunks as tonal units (where inflection breaks). An added extra is that the narrator keeps his distinct voice. He tells the story and reports the characters speech; if you want to hear the character say it directly, you can simply press on the character to hear it in his/her own voice. A very sophisticated and well-thought-out app. I will by more if theyre like this, but I wont pay more than this price.

What a great interactive book! Both my 3 & 6 year old love it! Theyre constantly reading & re-reading, playing & discovering. I highly recommend it. I promise your kids wont just read it once & then leave this book sitting idly on your iPad! Thanks, we want more please!

This app is so great. My granddaughter is only two and in love with this app. I am reading it twice a day. Cant wait for more I will buy them all. If you have children you have to get this. I just wish I could find all the stuff in the book. Edit. I recently gave an old iPhone to my granddaughter with this app on it. And she has carried it around for the last month. This is the best app I have ever found. To those that rate this below 5 stars I could post several videos with her having the time of her life. My only complaint is I need more books.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this app! More importantly, my 4 year old loves this app! Truly, I think this is one of the BEST childrens books apps in the store now. And trust me, Ive bought at least 40-50 of them. Not only is the story great, every page is filled with great interactivity for my daughter to find and explore. They have one other app, "Cosmos Day off" which is really good as well. However, if you were only going to get one, this one feels much more flushed out and the story/game play is longer (at least it feels that way.) Cant recommend this App enough!
