The sweetly timeless story combined with the excellent interactive design of the app make this a title you’ll want to read and share with your children again and again. ~ Apps for Homeschooling
Ride the wild ponies! Trip around the world! Find the lost children! Audrey loves to play her favorite games and never without her best friend, Bear. But when bedtime comes Bear is nowhere to be found! Where can he be? In this interactive story young readers help Audrey ride on Mama's bike, giddy-up on Daddy's back, find the toys she's hidden in the bushes, and search the house for the missing Bear, before being tucked in for the night.
Toy baskets spill, pillows move, quilts lift, cupboards open, revealing more adventures. Silly sound effects, bouncing and movable objects, and a kitty hiding on every page add to the fun of this ten page story book.

An engaging story.
Lively interactions on every page.

Musical tunes can be on or off.
Read it to me or read it myself.
Touch to hear individual words.

Review by developer:
* Interactief en grappige elementen om kinderen bezig te houden in elke scène. Keuzes om voor te laten lezen maakt dit boek zelfs leuk voor de allerkleinste kinderen. De kleuren zijn ook erg vrolijk die gebruikt zijn in deze app. Al met al is dit een leuke boeken app voor kleine kinderen waarbij je beer overal moet zoeken...

Review by developer:
* Een geweldige boeken app. Net als je denkt dat je een leuke keuze gemaakt hebt in het verhaal, gaat het eigenlijk de hele andere kant op... Zelfs wanneer je denkt het einde van het boek bereikt te hebben, begint het met een ander verhaal, weliswaar met dezelfde acteurs, maar toch met een hele andere kijk erop! Leuk en mooi gemaakt. Ik wil zeker even complimenteren zoals men de monden gemaakt heeft en ze praten, het is net echt!
Leuk om te lezen en zien, en toch ook educatief. Zeker de moeite waard om te kopen!
