Critical review:

This app isn’t the fanciest out there, nor does it have the best graphics.  What it does have is a very wide selection of curated books.  The choices, ranging between books for 1-9 year olds, are wide ranging, and appeal to a broad variety of audiences.  It doesn’t have the most popular authors, nor does it have licensed characters.  But it has solid, entertaining stories.

Why include it?

Sometimes, you just need to have a book to read, and this app will provide just that.  It features over 1000 books, with new books added weekly.  It’s a convenient way to add a whole lot of interesting stories to your device.
