“Our 3 and 5-year-olds, and me, have been mesmerized with this electronic book. We have been in fits of giggles and consistently surprised throughout this classic tale… this is sure the pinnacle of the mogul baby must haves, when considering the quality, value and instant accessibility to everyone. It is impossible to be disappointed with this masterpiece.”

“Nosy Crow’s rendition of Cinderella feels like a collection of playgrounds that let kids enjoy each of the story’s pivotal moments… The “wow” moment came when we discovered that mirrors in the rooms were leveraging FaceTime cameras to reflect our faces back at the screen, a great little trick that will draw kids into the story even further.” iLounge Rating: A
iLounge
“With it’s whimsy illustrations, engaging animation, wonderful children narrators and original music, this picture book app is top notch.”
Teachers with Apps
“This is exactly what a picture book app for children should be.”
Scottish Book Trust
“The look of this app is quite beautiful, with the use of vivid, bright colors and fun, over-the-top, stylized stepmother and stepsisters wearing garish makeup and clothes, but I am happy that they are never referred to as “ugly,” which would place an undue focus on one’s looks, as the concept of “pretty is good, ugly is bad” can have unintended consequences later for girls as they grow up. It is also worth noting that this prince is thought of as being kind, a reason besides wealth that Cinderella would want to marry him, and I especially appreciate how Cinderella mutters to herself how the prince probably does not care about clothing as she dresses her demanding stepsisters.”
Giggle Apps
“Cinderella is one of the best if not the best book app there is in the iTunes store at the moment.”
iPad Apps 4 Kids
