    Not the 52 page edition :-(

    Still cute, but way to expensive.

    Classic!

    I adored this book as a child, so I brought it to a baby shower in lieu of a card with a personal message from my family to the soon-to-arrive baby. Hope they love it as much as I did.

    You get what you pay for

    Part of the cost is the re-issuing of the book. The reader and sounds are excellent. For many more "mature" people the cost is well worth it to once again experience this wonderful CLASSIC.

    Do not get it for the Read It To Me feature

    I was able to see all the pages when I used the Read It To Myself feature, but the application crashed every time I tried to use the Read To Me feature.

    Classic!

    My son and daughter (3&9) both love this book. I own the paper version as well. I remember this story being read to me when I was young. Very cool that it was made interactive, ingeniously too.
