Just downloaded the new read and play version on our nook color yesterday. This book is such a cute read, and then add to that the beautiful illustrations - now slightly annimated - it's so wonderful! Our entire family has joy reading it.
Great job, nook color creators! We love it.

My daughter and I fell in love with this wonderfully colorful, exuberent tale when she was but a wee child of two. Our love affair lasted through many evening reading sessions, curled together on the bed with her puffalumps and babydolls, until the book all but fell apart in her 8th year. She is sixteen now, and I find myself pulling out my card so we can have another copy in our home, for all the wonderful memories it holds for both of us. Bruce Degen truly dusted the pages with magic when he gave life to the boy and the bear in this fanciful book. If you share nothing else with your child, share this book. It makes everything else possible.

Got this for my grandson even though he's only 4 mos. It does capture his attention. He listens to the sounds and I enjoy the time together. The Big kid in me loves the animation and I must confess, the drawing pad is my favorite. So, for all you grandparents, splurge. You won't regret it.

I Also Recommend:
This was one of my favorite books as a child. I received it as part of a book club and I remember sitting on the floor of my bedroom reading it and rereading it over and over again. I loved going through the pictures and finding the silly little things hidden in them and singing the words of the book. My mother saved it as I grew to hold onto for my future children.
I now have a 2-year-old son who finds this book as equally enjoyable as I did. The creative rhymes make him giggle and laugh every time and he enjoys finding the silly little things in the pictures too. His favorite time to read it is at breakfast when we are eating berries ourselves.

They will love it and while they are having fun they are learning. See how many berries you can catch...What goes quack?...Even a page to practice your drawing abilities. Well worth the price. It's a book. It's a game. It's a drawing board. It's a musical instrument.

Though I have read Jamberry hundreds of times, I am not bored of it. The words are fun to read and the illustrations are delightful! Our first copy drown in milk, and I am now purchasing the book a second time.

Can't wait for the kids to experience this as a 'read and play' on my Nook. Great story voice, great interaction, and a fun story.

Great story, illustrations & animations. Only con is this is one of those ebooks with very quiet audio so you have to listen closely which is a challenge for the 2 yr old. The interactive games are a great feature. Overall we're happy with this.

Price is high, but well worth it - the colours are amazing on the Nook and the story is charming. One of our favourites so far!
