APP REVIEWS

Brilliant! by Gurkafine - Version 1.0 - May 14, 2012
Bought this for my grandchildren (aged 4 and 18 months) and am thrilled with it! They were instantly enthralled by the story, loved the pics and navigated to the end with ease. Afterwards they wanted to know more about the penguins and we've had great fun reading up on them. Wholesome story telling at its best!
