Evaluation comments”
“I love the idea of a storybook that Alexa reads and kids can follow along. This is a great option for screen-free entertainment.”
“The illustrations are cute, and the stories are familiar (Jack and the Beanstalk and 3 Little Pigs). There’s also a new set of characters to get to know in “A Playdate with Rosie and Ricky.”
“Alexa guides non-readers through the book and clearly explains which page they should be on by identifying images a 3-4 year old can easily find. After reading the words, the story becomes a game where the kids can call out things on the page and the story characters respond to that specific item.”
“It’s a fantastic screen-free activity that also teaches critical thinking, listening, and direction following skills through the game play. I’m enjoying interacting with the books too!”
“These interactive stories are creative and unique. The idea behind the books is innovative and well-executed. Alexa guides the reader clearly from page to page, and the narrator’s voice is easy to understand. The stories are well-written and the characters are engaging and fun. The voice-over actors did a fantastic job.”
“My daughter loves following along the stories and trying out new ways to interact with the characters. I love how engaged she is and how she’s using critical thinking and listening skills to follow the directions on each page.”
“Navigating through these books with Alexa is super intuitive. The narrators speak in pleasant voices and at the perfect pace for young children to follow along with. This is so different than a book where a pre-recorded voice just reads the text back to you. You can truly interact with these books.”
“The narrator will ask you questions about what you see on the pages or ask you to select certain items and it will respond in kind. And, that’s great because it means that you can essentially hear different commentary each time you read the book depending on the answers you give. How cool is that?”
“These books are a huge hit with both my daughter and me. It’s something fun and different. I’ve never seen anything else like it.”
