You'll find plenty of original Dr. Seuss art and more importantly -- ideas about inclusively -- in this "Read and Play" version of this Dr. Seuss classic. As with other Oceanhouse titles, you can freely explore each page, tapping any illustration or word to see the printed label and hear a clear pronunciation. As a result, this is an excellent app for beginning readers of English because of the way that it lets you freely explore new vocabulary.Be sure to explore the parent options where you can toggle on/off the Read To Me features. There's also an Auto Play feature. Other features include the ability to track minutes spent reading, and see which pages were read. Content includes 12 mini-games, including Memory Match, Jigsaw Puzzle, and Word Search and Sequence. Need to know: there is an older version of "The Sneetches" that should not be confused with this version. The difference is that this version has hidden phonics games. Otherwise the art and touch-hear features are the same.
