* I love the illustrations of this app, it is very cute and pleasing to the eyes.

* I am very excited to see the potential of learning opportunities from this app while my kiddos can still be having fun!

* I would love if the animal names are pronounced as we tap on it, example horse and foal or cat and kitten and so on.

* It is engaging and interactive and I love the beautiful illustrations!

~ Posted on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 8:00 AM ~

It was such a nice coincidence that I get to review this storybook app with my kiddos! I was just looking at the movie poster in the cinema the other day and was telling my 4 years old Benjamin there is this new snail racing movie coming out soon and we might get to watch it if daddy is free. Without further ado, here goes my feedback...

* The illustrations is clear and vivid, as for storyline, I'm happy we get to preview this storyapp first before we watched the movie on 20th July 2013! I used the opportunity in this storyapp to teach my boy that we must work hard towards making our dreams come true and not just sit around and become lazy.

* One of the cool thing in this app is there are other options for you to play around such as 'Meet the Crew', 'Racing Team' and 'Turbo Training' apart from being able to customize Turbo’s shell via the Turbo-ize option.

* I'm also impressed that not long after watching this storyapp, my 4 years old boy started drawing snails on his doodling activity time. Not bad!
