See the App by Wanderful (November 2012). The second CD in the Living Books series, this engaging electronic storybook features Arthur and his gang of friends in a typical day at school with their teacher, Mr. Ratburn. Children can hear the story read aloud and click on the many hot spots to see animations. The story is humorous and the graphics, delightful. The program language can be toggled between English and Spanish, and kids can quickly jump to their favorite page in the story with just one mouse click. There are no activities, but the story line is strong and young children love the characters and clickables.
