When I saw the press release of this app, I immediately checked out for more details on it and what got my full attention was the beautiful illustrations in this app. I had initially thought this app was more like a story book where you page through and read some story about a dog or something, until I realised you get to find the many many hidden objects on each page as you travel a long with Mitzi, the spotted dog with a red collar. Anyway, my review as below...

Description from the product page:
"In Mitzi’s world, every detail is worth seeing. Young readers will enjoy following Mitzi, the spotted dog with a red collar, through all four seasons of the year as she explores the towns, farms, and countryside of America, vividly brought to life by author Deborah Raffin and folk artist Jane Wooster Scott.
Along with Mitzi there are plenty of other objects to uncover, whether they are candy canes in winter, sail boats in spring, sand castles in summer, or pumpkins in fall. Children will be introduced to counting concepts, seasons, and colors, while the entire family can enjoy the highly beloved folk art form with its colorful and accessible scenes. Mitzi’s World is a part of the Auryn line from Auryn Inc. and is based on Deborah Raffin’s book by the same name. "
What's good?
* The illustrations is just simply amazing and breathtaking and there are some cute little animations and awesome interactivity in this app!
* I love the 15 folk art illustrations and the details are simply amazing!
* I like that when you exit the app and resumed back later, those objects which you have found earlier are still indicated as found (as there are some apps which make you look for the objects all over again!) so you just need to continue back your search for the hidden objects.
Room for Improvement?
* Perhaps make it easier for us to locate the hidden objects when we clicked the Hint option? Blinking the objects would be cool hahaha!
