    Decent but left wanting for price - no animation, few pages, solely focused on t-rex. Son finished in like 5 min.

    We love the smithsonite books. Well written, informative, and entertaining. Thanks for making them available via iPad!

    My two year old son thinks it is great. You can touch the dinosaurs and the app will say the name. It is a book. The words are written on the screen, and when you touch each word, the app says the word for you, making it a good aid to in learning to read. On each new page, the app reads the next part of the story aloud. It was a bit juvenile for my 12 year old daughter, who wants to be a paleontologist. She has a vast knowledge base of dinosaurs, and believes the app to be somewhat elementary for her. She thinks the app should end with Barney the dinosaur singing "I Love You, You Love Me." It is, however a good early tool.

  • Boring - Expected More

    With this being by the Smithsonian, I expected more. A few of the page transitions were only close-ups of the previous page. It's digital, but there aren't any animations. No dinosaurs running or fighting, no birds flying or trees swaying. We should be able to touch the T-Rex and make his mouth open & close, at least. This app should cost between Free - $.99. I should've downloaded Jurassic Park or Dinosaur Train. Don't say I didn't warn you! Purchase at your own risk!

  • Pretty good, but some flaws

    First of all, the mispronunciation of Ankylosaurus is annoying. This is a book about dinosaurs - at least get their names correct. My four year old was exasperated and said, "Why does he keep saying ankylosaurus wrong?" It would also benefit from additional detail at the end. The "About Tyrannosaurus Rex" section is pretty weak and has little real information. That said, son did enjoy the story.

  • Great app for autistic son!

    My autistic son's area of interest is dinosaurs, and he's learning to read. He only likes non-fiction and only books with realistic pictures. I have a hard time finding realistic Dino books with narrative flow. This app is perfect! We want more just like this!!! Love that when you tap pics, the narrator gives accurate Dino names, too!

  • My 5 year old says, "I love it!"

    This is well done. The story is engaging and the pictures are wonderful. I just wish it had a bit more for the price. Maybe an update with another story? Or an add on with more of an interactive nature?

  • Great
