Super cute, classic. Easy to use! Even my two year old figured it out easily. To the person who's kids couldn't... You might want to have them tested! Yikes!Patiently waiting for the full version!

But how do you acquire the complete version?
Additional feature needed

I like the app. The only flaw I see that would be an added tool would be for the app to read the short senerios for each word to the children.

This game is not very usefull unless you have a small child learning to talk! Otherwise it is just a bit boring! But I like Curious George so that's why I gave it 3 stars!
Needs improving 
By: P-lash - Aug 14, 2009
Version: 1.0
Pros: soothing background music; pleasant narrator voice; charming, classic illustrations.Cons: reads only the word, not the entire sentence it appears in; demo is too short-only gives access to 3 letters of the alphabet. ABC and you're through!Summary: Wouldn't consider spending $ on it until improvements are made. Don't let your kids play the demo unless you want to hear complaints of how short it is!

decent audio, not much else 
By: AppZero - Sep 30, 2009
Version: 1.01
all they did was cut & paste the content from an existing book. the interface is too confusing for the youngest users; the content skews too young for older users. maybe book publishers fall for this developer's hype, but not kids. get them Koi Pond instead.
Volume WAY Too Low
By: Lewca - Sep 16, 2009
Version: 1.01
This is a good idea but is rather useless because even at max volume it is too low to hear. Fail.
