The Cat in the Hat for Android tablets really freshens up an old classic. With most tablets being the same size as a children's book, it’s like the story has been magically brought to life. The app features professional narration, suspenseful music and cinematic sound effects. The app is a kind of digital pop-up book, in which users can touch objects or words. The narrator will speak the word aloud and send text floating across the screen. Young users can also learn to read by following along with the story as each word turns bold as it is read aloud by the narrator. Older readers can improve their reading skills by selecting the option to read the story quietly to themselves. This is a very fun, easy to use app that even the smallest of children will have no difficulty enjoying on an Android tablet.

Nice book. Well thought out extras. Too many 15mb updates!

Great, but really would love portrait mode for my G-Tab. It would be much easier to read when held like a normal book
Tara
Great book and concept! Most recent build fixes cutoff issues on Archos 70. Hope they release more android versions of their other titles.

Perfect except would like a lock burton while autoplaying so my son can't click off it while reading.

This really needs an exit option (since the back button is disabled)
