Review:
"Parents for two generations are familiar with the late Stan and Jan Berenstains Bears and their over 200 books. Wanderful enlivens those classic stories, creating a rich resource for developing reading skills in an animated interactive app. Our child testers laughed at comic elements and groaned at others, such as a dancing book piping in to say "Hey! Check me out!" All ages intuitively grasped navigation of the app, although teacher/parent familiarization with the content rich resource options and customizable settings will go a long way toward optimizing skill development and individualized interface.

All words are "active" in the Let Me Play" mode so a child can tap on an individual word which is then highlighted and pronounced. We had fun making silly sentences with chosen words and word recognition was mastered in child-driven play.

Wanderful offers a superb level of interaction with a well-designed app loaded with varying levels of skill development and simple fun appropriate for eager 2 year olds up to age 8."
