Pros and cons of Just Grandma and Me app for iPhone and iPad

Just Grandma and Me app good for

I love these little critter books. My two year old loves them too. These OceanHouse books are among the best for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch apps for kids out there!
Excellent story rendered well to the computer age. Great value for money!

Some bad moments

Without the "Living Books" aspect of the experience, the magic just isnt there. Anyone who ever sat with a 2-year-old for hours discovering all the treasures hidden throughout each page will be disappointed with the hollow shell this version represents.
It made me sad to purchase this book. I remember the living books from the nineties and was looking forward to sharing them with my son. Unfortunately, what we have here is a bad interpretation of the original. I guess i should have read the description first. While they imported the original reading of the book, all the animations and interactions were completely left out. This is nothing more than a "read-to-me" story book with absolutely no interactivity at all. This developer should be slapped for the lazy job done to this wonderful story. What a waste of my money.
My mother read this story on the iPad with her granddaughter and they had a blast exploring it together. The young girl loved all the sound effects, especially the kid on the beach. Easily worth the purchase
This version does not include any of the interactive animations of the original version that was done for the PC. When you click on objects in the story, it just says and shows the word for the object. In the original version, whenever you click on an object, the object animates in a fun way; i.e. the crab snaps his claws and scuttles away. Its really too bad this version does not include the animations! My kids grew up with original, and were SO disappointed when we bought this to show our little nieces and it didnt do what we expected.
Okay I am a sucker for the find-the-grasshopper and find-the-spider aspect of this book. It adds a little extra fun to an already great story. Love the artwork, narration and sound effects as well.
Oceanhouse did a great job making an App out of this classic book. The added game of finding all of the spiders and grasshoppers is fun too! HIGHLY recommended for young readers and nostalgic adults. An excellent reading tool for beginning readers.
