But Not the Hippopotamus - Sandra Boynton

My 2 year old looks forward to these great interactive books,thank you!

We have all of the hard cover Boyntons but when they came out with the App versions i couldn't resist. My 2 year old recognizes them and loves how they come to life with his touch. Well Done! Can we get 15 animals now please?

I have purchased every app Loud Crow has published but this is the first app that felt "phoned in." It's still cute and I'm sure my wee lads will enjoy it, but it lacks the inventive charm and serendipity of Loud Crow's or Boynton's previous instalments.

I have always loved Boynton products & it just keeps getting better. I love that all the drawings are interactive, even little things that you wouldn't expect. I think these books are a great way to get little kids to enjoy reading. But bigger kids enjoy them too.

There are 2 children's book authors who have a perfect track record for me. Mo Willems and Sandra Boynton. Anything they make, I will buy sight unseen. That said, this is one of our favorite Boynton books, next to the book that introduced me to her, Blue Hat, Green Hat. Every app book created by Loud Crow is excellent, and worth every penny. With Sandra there, you're crazy not to buy everything. Her son is one of the people who does the narration of the story, and he's fantastic. I had the pleasure of corresponding with Sandra about a year or two ago, I wrote her the story of my girls and how much they loved her as babies, and still love her today. She took the time to respond and was kind, funny and it goes down in history as one of the only "celebrity" interactions that I'll remember for the rest of my life. She's an amazing author, a fantastic woman and her books really are truly wonderful. I know this probably sounds like a shill, but I swear it's not. I just have daughters who love her books, STILL, and they'll be 9 in January.

Cute short story and the narrator's voice is charming. The app is not very interactive and, coupled with the fact that is a very short story, it is way too expensive.

My son loves this book. You will not regret buying this book app.
