Thank you Appreciation for the great review of Laloo!
This is a nice storybook app that both my boys enjoy, especially because they are both animal lovers. The collecting of the bugs throughout the app was fun for my 3 yr old and it was a great opportunity to identify and talk a little about each insect collected. My little guy was very concerned when Laloo was trapped and was quickly relieved when he was able to escape. My 5 yr old's interest was in the outcome of the story, while my 3 yr old continuously tapped onto every item looking for additional interactions. One of his favorite interactions is shaking the device that causes Laloo to loose his balance and fall into the stream and escape from Gambo.
As a parent, I really appreciated the many facts given throughout the app pertaining to Red Pandas, it added great educational value. The moral of the story, to be happy with who you are, was also appreciated and led to a nice discussion with the boys. The illustrations are beautiful, the narration is superb and the navigation is very child friendly. As a parent of two budding readers, I would have loved to have seen highlighted text. Hopefully that would be possible in a future update. Overall, it was a very nice story that was enjoyed by the family and I would highly recommend it!
