Nosy Crow knocks it out of the ballpark yet again. – Little Red Riding Hood by Nosy Crow Review

Nosy Crow consistently creates book apps that go above and beyond your basic read-aloud app for kids. They also push the envelope when it comes to creating book apps that don’t rely on gimmicky tricks and games to engage a child. As with their previous book apps like Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs and Animal SnApp Nosy Crow’s newest, Little Red Riding Hood, pushes the industry to higher levels than ever before. Nosy Crow’s take on the story of Little Little Red Riding Hood is clear and recognizable to fans of the classic story, but also not nearly as gruesome for the youngest of readers. Within the story there are ways for young readers to engage, but not in the typical ways that you’d find in a game-like book app. Instead there are options and paths for readers to choose that determine the pattern of interaction within the story. Scenes where Red comes to a path and must choose between spiders & bees add a level of engagement and creative thinking for even very little readers. This new version of Little Red Riding Hood is also one that as a mom of two kiddos can thoroughly love. From the mom in the story, who is gorgeous and a more natural size, to a very wicked looking wolf with fancy trousers on. The illustrations are unbelievably incredible; something I’ve come to expect from all the publications Nosy Crow produces in both print and digital formats. Here is a story you’ll want to sit down and read with your kiddos time and time again.
