    Great but needs a fix

    A great book, of course Dr Seuss didn't write a bad one. There is a problem with the narration though, it does not read the last few words in a paragraph sometimes.

    Buggy app

    My 2 yr old loves this app/book. Unfortunately, more often than not it is buggy by failing to load or crashing during her use/reading. Narration also fades at end of the page often missing last few words. OM needs an update out if they want this app to garner more than 2 stars.

    Very touching

    Read this book with my daughter. It shows a caring elephant in a friendly humorous way. Would strongly recommend it for all ages.

    Finish your line!

    An adorable book but narration is an issue! Very frustrating for my children (& me!). Once this is fixed, it will be fantastic.

    Does not read the text completely. On each page the last few words are not read. Very disappointing.
