Old Style

I do like this version and the original artwork from Denslow, but this depiction of Santa just doesn't fit with today's view. I downloaded several versions of this poem for the iPad this year and the interactivity on this one is a lot of fun. I also really liked "The Night Before Christmas Popup" with the red Twas icon; the 3D popups have a more traditional feel to them and it is also interactive and not just plain text. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what's next.
Wonderful blend

This is a really great blend of old-fashioned illustration and modern tech. Well worth the price.
Very nice book

It is a very nice book to sit down with your kids and read it to them. The spring effect is nice, but it is everywhere .... becomes old news after a while. The voice is really great, the graphics are nice. It feels like the old books our parents read to us.
Wonderful rendition of classic

Denslow, the illustrator, drew this version of the tale in 1902, long before Coca-cola ads gave us the modern rendering of Santa Claus. For those of you who don't want anything other than what you're used to, don't buy this app; for the rest of us, it's a rare treat. The app works just as a pop-up book would have in 1902, only with the addition of sounds, and items that roll, pop, or jump across the page. i loved it, especially since I'm a fan of early 20th century art. I would recommend tihs for anyone who likes early illustration, Christmas stories, popup books, or who has children or grandchildren. This isn't a video game, people, and it's not supposed to be one. For 1.99, this a a fabulous app and worth a lot more.
So much fun

This app cracks me up. It has great artwork by Denslow, and just about anything you touch will make a sound and move. I love the poem and had a great children's book of this story when I was a kid. I was trying to remember how the whole poem went, and then found it in the app store. This app combines old and new and is really fun.
Wonderful Book for Kids!

This book TOTALLY fascinates my twin 4 year old girls. The 3D animations are so realistic the kids don't want to me to advance the pages. This app demonstrates the great potential of the iPad as a powerful learning and entertainment tool. Also, the publishers are very responsive to helpful comments. Buy it!

This app is amazing. It is so clear LoudCrow understands how to use the technology of iPads and iPhones to make a stunning and highly interactive app. I highly recommend this.
