The price for the book is okay However once exposed to the original and how fabulous the interactive component was it is disappointing that with IT such as it is it is not available I would have easily paid 14 99 for it and so would many others You would see generations purchasing this Now if we can just encourage Apple to quit with their incessant upgrades                 Wonderful book Just Grandma and Me Aplifesgood

Doesn t have the sound effects like on the computer version from the 90s Can t click on things in the book and doesn t make sounds I wish I could get my money back     Not like old version Emilysufjsoalsi

I agree with the other reviewers in that this version pales in comparison to the one we used to run on our Mac There are some nice reading aids but it is not nearly as interactive as the original             Meh Parttime Traveller

If you are disappointed in this App because it is not like the original computer version you should check out all the Wanderful interactive storybooks These are the original Living Books brought back for the iPad You will love them     Better than this App Luv Living Books

I do not like this version of Just Grandma And Me at all We bought the computer version many years ago for a child that was like a grandchild to us We now have our own grandchildren and have been using the computer version with our granddaughter I thought it would be nice to sit on the couch with her and let her touch the screen on my ipad and she could make the birds sing or the cow moo as many times as she wanted to But not with this version I m not even going to let her know that I have it on my ipad It s just like a story book all still pictures you can t interact with the story at all I m very much disappointed and would not have made the purchase if I had know I don t guess we can get a refund     Just Grandma And MeI prettywoman1964

Was very disappointed in this app Having owned the original interactive version and having watched my daughter enjoy it for so many years on the computer finally wore it out could not believe the pale version of the original that this app presents Although the original pictures and artwork remain this version is nothing more than flipping through a series of still pictures in a book None of the charm or delight of being able to touch the screen and play interactively with various creatures in the story now remains The creativity that went into the orginal was just amazing and was what made it such a delight and so appealing to kids This version has been gutted to nothing more than a series of still pictures What a shame The story is not even well read by the child narrator Would not have bought it if I had sampled it first Hope they decide to fix this This has been a classic and much loved computer story in our family for so many years Developers please fix this so it can be a winner again and charm a new generation     Just Grandma and me zeanel

I wish I had read the review before I bought this I too thought it was the interactive version and it is not I felt that I was misled     Very Disappointed Littlemaxjm

I love the broderbund interactive Living Books with Little Critter and was so excited to see them offer as an iPad app NOPE These are simply an ebook that will read you the story No interaction what so ever         Disappointed Ourkazoku

I was hoping for an equivalent of the original PC game which was a classic A key element that made the original a classic was the animations interaction and the endearing voice of critter This app does not have them I would happily pay more to see a full version with the animations     Disappointed vsarathy

My daughter has enjoyed it she likes stories being read to her so its fun for her not to interactive but ok                     Entertaining for a read along jessiquoa

I too was so excited to see this app that I didn t read the reviews I loved the computer version and assumed wrongly that it was similar Calling it an interactive book is stretching it it reads to you and that is it Back to searching for a truly interactive book     Disappointing Hagenbud

I was so excited to find Grandma and Me in the apps store because I used the computer version first with my children and then with my grand kids I thought it would be fun on the IPad so I downloaded it I can t tell you how disappointed I was with this program What happened to all the animation Why couldn t you just convert the original You already had the program I didn t mind paying money for this app because I thought it was the same story base I am going to delete it even though I paid for it I wish you could find a way to bring back the original This version is extremely lame     Disappointed Frontierfrenzy

The original PC story game was a classic for a reason The developers left out the interactive fun of finding the little objects in the scene and watching their animations and sound effects Instead all we get is a spider and grasshopper Even the VoiceOver of Little Critter is different and lacks the endearing quality of the original I was really disappointed My two year old wasn t thrilled either Come on guys     Lazy Remake of the Original Jake76er

I love this book for my grandkids However 9 years ago I purchased a DOS cd version and it was the best The grandkids who were toddlers at the tome loved all the whistles and bells of that program They could click on numerous parts of each page and some action would take place We have over the years been disappointed that this was not updated for newer computers AND I continue to be disappointed that this app does almost nothing compared to the old DOS version My younger grandkids are being cheated Please come out with that very fun version for iPads SOON Thank you         Just grandma and me GrandmaMil

I read the little Critter books to my kids an now I have my first granddaughter an we love the books Please put more books up for sale thank you love them                     Very good Gmal w

In the 90 s I was an Apple Education Specialist and I took my Mac LC in a case to schools to Demo at Parent Teacher nights and guest reader assemblies the Mercer Mayer s Just Grandma and Me by Living Books and it was always the show Fav When the Grandkids arrived I scoured computer shows and the Net to provide all the Grandkids the same experience on their computers When I saw this was available for my iPad I was ecstatic and tapped my iTunes account to get a copy Boy was I disappointed the pages were there and the same voice was there but the interactivity and animations were GONE Those features are what kept the children coming back over and over to read and interact with the book My children even used the multi language feature of the Living Books series to aid in their learning of Spanish As others have commented if the developer can t do it right or better let someone else have the license to replicate the look and feel of the Living Books series It s not as if the iDevices aren t up to the task the Mac LC was a 16mhz 2MB computer with CD150 CD Rom drive even a 16GB original iPad should be up to that task Anxiously awaiting an update so I can use my iPad as Grandpa becomes a guest reader for the Grandkids in school         Just Grandma and Me ALMOST KennMSr

My granddaughter asks for the Little Critter books over and over The old PC versions sound magical but we never saw them so we are happy with these                     Didn t miss what we never knew Grandmafrog

If you ever had the cd story book then you will feel let down I bought this feeling sure that the program after so many years would have gone towards the side of better graphics more animations the things that were so endearing to the original But no This could and should have been done right Maybe an upgrade to get it like the original would make me feel like I could suggest it to all the children s parents I work with The original program worked on like an Old 2 MEG Mac LC Sad so Sad Apple gives you the iPhone and iPad and you give us a way to take our money Do the program right or give to a company that can     You could make more money if you did right Runner46

I too was hoping this would be the original interactive story book created by Living Books These games are what TRULY bring an iPhone iPad to life in the eyes of a child Give me the interactive version please and make sure Little Critter does his dance too         Disappointed too DaQMan

This may not stack well to the PC versions of yesteryear but my 3 yr Son can t get enough of the Dr Seuss and Little Critter books In fact he prefers the Little Critter books because he love to search for the spiders mice and grasshoppers thru out the pages                     Reviews are too harsh Best I ve found in the iPad series RustyBowling

Was hoping that it would be interactive like the original books that you could do on your computer This was about 15 to 18 years ago But you could click on things and they would react For example the fence would move and give grandma a little poke and she would make a noise You could click on varies objects and they would react This does none of that Just a plain old read along         Disappointed Cxriley

I haven t experienced the original version that was mentioned in previous reviews but my granddaughter and I both LOVED this one The narrator is a child it isn t too long and the illustrations are adorable so I ll buy a couple more I can even relax while the automatic story tells itself a mini vacation for grandma                     Great lLittle Story Martwork

Ok i d read the description of this app And say it s different for the 90 s version and doesn t have animation to keep the price low well the music voice are not very nice and the only animation are the words I don t like it I prefer the 90 s version And my baby didnt like it either     Very dissapointed Aurealicia

I was looking forward to seeing the old pc version and sharing the experience with my daughter I look forward to seeing the new and improved update soon To anyone considering purchasing I recommend holding out till then     Disappointed joshganga1

We had this program for our computer 20 years ago a great program but This version is okay but it is different No more bees or signing fences No snapping crabs or mooing beach guests Just words popping out of objects This is okay but a bad remake They should have stayed true             Not the PC version garyrost

Just Grandma and Me was one of the numerous series of Living Books where it told the story but each page was filled with animated actions that were truly entertaining Now you click on images and it tells you that Grandma is grandma and fence is fence Absolutely missed the incredible novelty of Living Books         So disappointed Johnable

I was so hoping that this would be like the Living Books computer games that came out in the 90s but it wasn t It s a fine ebook but not at all what I hoped for Too bad             Not like the Interactive Living Books for Computers Former Computer Teacher

Oceanhouse did a great job making an App out of this classic book The added game of finding all of the spiders and grasshoppers is fun too HIGHLY recommended for young readers and nostalgic adults An excellent reading tool for beginning readers                     One of three currently Awesome Little Critter apps Antmusic1

Okay I am a sucker for the find the grasshopper and find the spider aspect of this book It adds a little extra fun to an already great story Love the artwork narration and sound effects as well                     the grasshopper chirps and the spider scratches Veritas Design Group

This version does not include any of the interactive animations of the original version that was done for the PC When you click on objects in the story it just says and shows the word for the object In the original version whenever you click on an object the object animates in a fun way i e the crab snaps his claws and scuttles away It s really too bad this version does not include the animations My kids grew up with original and were SO disappointed when we bought this to show our little nieces and it didn t do what we expected         Does Not Include Interactivity of Original PC Version dmyoung

My mother read this story on the iPad with her granddaughter and they had a blast exploring it together The young girl loved all the sound effects especially the kid on the beach Easily worth the purchase                     great app Media_Maker

It made me sad to purchase this book I remember the living books from the nineties and was looking forward to sharing them with my son Unfortunately what we have here is a bad interpretation of the original I guess i should have read the description first While they imported the original reading of the book all the animations and interactions were completely left out This is nothing more than a read to me story book with absolutely no interactivity at all This developer should be slapped for the lazy job done to this wonderful story What a waste of my money         Dreckitude zeroaxs
