Review:
"For all those who take full advantage of the taste-before-you-buy events at farmer's markets or grocery stores, Wanderful Storybooks Sampler offers a similar experience.

This free app gives readers a fully interactive 'first page' sample from each of its seven-book collection: Little Monster At School, Arthur's Teacher Trouble, Arthur's Birthday, Berenstain Bears Get In A Fight, Harry and the Haunted House, Tortoise and the Hare and Ruff's Bone. Additionally, the sampler highlights what to expect in the parental tips and teacher resources sections of each Wanderful title designed to help, guide, and delight new and emerging readers."
