I love fairy tales anyway, and I love the illlustration style in these stories. The narraration is fantastic. My only suggestion is to be able to touch words you dont know so you can see what they mean.

Tips: English has a normal speed, but spanish is too much slow, don't sounds normal. A little faster would sound more close to normal. Would be very helpfull to show what word is been read-pronounce. Thank you.

There is a bug, on my phone, the text on the last lines of both languages are rendered squashed up so that it's difficult to read. This is the case with all of your books. Also, it would be helpful if the spanish words were simultaneously highlighted as the english is being spoken & vice versa, but this should be as an on/off option within the app to suit everyone's needs. Will give 5 stars when the bug is fixed.

Para ser un libro gratis, te da ilustraciones muy coloridas y usa un español apropiado para niños pre-escolares. No mas hubiera querido que los personajes parecieran animalitos y no niños vestidos de animales. Pero para ser gratis creo que estoy pidiendo mucho.

This app goes well with any other bilingual lessons you are giving your children, as well as a good stand alone tool. I can't believe its free :-)

This is a nice simple app with text and audio translations, it would be nice if there was the ability to stop on a page and press individual words and hear the audio for practice

The idea for this is brilliant. Don't know why more children book apps have dual audio n subtitles. Its a shame the pictures are a little basic and one dimensional. If it was illustrated better, my child wld be even more hooked. But great job nonetheless.
