Amazing Animals, Mammals
I downloaded this to help raise money for the Book Bus and to share with my god daughter's children when they visit. The e book presentation makes not only for a fun activity with children but also adds another dimension as the children can view video of the animals as well as see static pictures, adding to the learning experience, and it certainly holds their attention! The graphics are superb, the information is just the right amount for young children and we all enjoyed it greatly; it got them asking lots if questions which was delightful. Will definitely be looking out for more in the series. Thanks to Miles Kelly and wishing them every success in helping the Book Bus - such a good cause.

Amazing animals - superb!
I downloaded this book for my class to look at, and they all loved it! They could were amazed at how interactive it was, and were fascinated by the pictures and videos. I was also thrilled with how easy it was to use, I let the children decide what they wanted to look at and they found the information speedily and with ease. I would highly recommend this book, especially to reluctant readers as they didn't want to out it down. The quizzes at the end were also super for testing their comprehension of the text.
A superb interactive, fun and easy to navigate book.

Amazing iBook!
Wow! What a refreshing approach to a fun, interactive book for young children. I hope to see more in this series. My children couldn't get enough of all the features and particularly liked the quiz and joke elements. Hours of fun and education and I'm sure it'll be a firm favourite. So my kids benefit and so do those in Africa, South America and India where The Book Bus do their work. I was very interested to learn about what The Book Bus does, well done everyone!
