Description from the product page:
"From the studio that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda comes “How To Train Your Dragon.” Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view. "
What's good?
* The illustrations is clear and exactly the same from the movie. If you like to watch the movie, then you can expect the same storyline on this app!
* I'm not sure whether it's my eyes playing tricks on me or what but I think there are a couple of pages from the storybook which I don't recall on the movie, so I think it is great to see that (or bad if it's really my memory problems!)
* I like this storybook as I don't need to play the whole movie for my boy to watch, I can go through the app with him and just our imagination and memory to replay back the scenes from the movie.
* Although Ben has yet to understand the significance of the words being highlighted in green as it is being said out in the storybook, I think it is good to have this feature when he starts learning on this in future.
* I really appreciate being able to pause midway the storybook (the pause, resume button is on the top right hand side)
