The Nativity Story - Popup Mini Edition - Interactive Book of the Christmas Bible Story for Children

After I had flipped through several screens of the Nativity Story App I was ready to close it and move on with my day My son was not He had been peering over my shoulder watching and he would not rest until every conversation between characters was heard and every page surprise revealed This fun interactive app shares the Bible story of Christmas in a way my kids love You can read on your own listen to the narrator and choose from three languages              Interactive Fun and Focus on Christ

What a wonderful way to experience the true meaning of Christmas The artwork is stunning and worth taking your time to enjoy My kids and I also loved how interactive this app is Merry Christmas                 Dont miss this Christmas treasure

This app features a beautiful dimensional storybook It starts with Mary and Joseph and goes to the birth of Jesus Lots of interactive places to click make this a fun and entertaining app                 Great app

I love the old popup books from my child hood and I love to view old wood cuts so this app blended new technology with the old feel of a time gone by into one fantastic app The app opens with a cover of a beautiful book with a flickering candle illumination Mary Joseph and Jesus at which point you can chose from the English French or Spanish version after you chose your language click on the cover of the book which then allows you several other options such as read to me read by myself explore the Scriptures as well as the app credits other books etc I tried out the read to me first as I have both nonreaders and readers in my house the voice that did the reading was pleasant and it was easy to follow along although highlighting the words would have been nice for those beginner readers I had a lot of fun making Mary Joseph and the other characters talk by clicking on the circles if you dont do them in order from left to right though their conversation doesnt make much sense Even the donkey makes noises if you click on him and by swiping over Mary and Joseph windows doors you can make them travel open and talk which was quite exciting for my three children ages 11 9 and 7 years old Overall I think this app is great in introducing children to the Christmas story and my only really issue with it is the fact that Mary more than likely didnt give birth as soon as they arrived in Bethlehem nor did they stay in an actual barn as we know it today I did appreciate that the wise men werent not shown in the story and it ended with the shepherds worshiping Christ and the angels praising God in the highest I highly recommend this app I only had an issue one time with it staying open and the other times it ran through with no issue and my children and I have really enjoyed it and I think its going to continue to bring us good memories for years to come I was given this app in exchange for posting my HONEST opinion from FlyBy Promotions no other compensation was given                 Beautiful

Available in 3 languages Children can read the pages themselves or be read to as the characters come to life Has a nostalgic old school feel to it yet is highly modern and interactive The sound effects are phenomenal and the pages are easy to turn as well Love that it includes scripture from Luke 12638 on this app too This would be a great app for families children and those in ministry                 Wonderful presentation of the Nativity story

My 8 12 year old loves this app Its so quaint She enjoys getting to choose between the story bringing automatically read to her verses her reading it She also loves the extra things on each page to push pull or spin that make the story come to life I love how modern technology has embraced an oldfashioned popup book and made it even better                 Excellent Retelling of the Birth of Jesus

Once downloaded you can choose English French or Spanish Then the viewer decides to Read to Me or Read by Myself Each page opens like a popup book showing depth The story is interactive as many pages include comment signs which can be tapped to hear what the character is saying Sometimes windows open with people behind them or you can move the donkey with a swipe of your finger or ring the bell Each time I viewed a page I found something else to push pull or move The rhyming lines tell an interactive and childdriven story of Mary and Josephs journey to Bethlehem and birth of Jesus The extra feature allows you to explore the Bible text There were a few points that were a little strange A woman speaks and sounds like a man and the Bible story was stretched to add fun and childhood understanding Over all my son enjoyed this app and sat very entertained when I had him give it a trial run              Fun Interactive

Love this new app Just in time for Christmas Really like that the story is offered in THREE languages French Spanish and French The illustrations are delightful fun colorful love the motionaction Great for my grand kids who are learning spanish along with their english Would love to see Noahs Ark next                 Beautifully shared

the illustrations are beautiful like a vintage storybook the character voices are friendly realistic the background music is subtle twinkly and sweet the narrator sounds like a charming father or grandfather My kids are 5 and 8 and they love this app Its perfect for this time of year to remember the true meaning of Christmas                 gorgeous

Good app for young kids to teach about the Christmas story              Great app for kids

Kids love Christmas and kids love apps That is pretty much the story in our home Each year my wife and I try to do our best to keep the focus on the reason for the season So when a new app comes along that is interactive and scripturally based you can bet I was interested This app is really unique and catching to the eye Its an inexpensive way to allow your children to interact with the most important story of the season We downloaded both the iPhone and iPad apps The kids seem to prefer the iPad just because it is larger and easier to see Either way they are both worth the download There is no greater time than today to download the app and allow your children to begin focusing on where it all began                 Great App

My 7 year old and I sat down to play with the app as a part of the start of our advent activities As someone else mentioned the only issue he had was when some of the options pushed talked over the story Otherwise its easy to use and the interaction made it fun for him              Used for Advent night

This was a great app to share with my little one she loved the level of interaction it was like she was playing a game while learning the story of Jesus Plus there was the opportunity to have it read for you or to read it on your own                 Loved the interaction

My kids who are 6 and 4 really like this app As a mom Im glad for them to have this interactive way to learn about Jesus birth They liked tapping the screen to create dialogue and sound effects My firstgrader liked that she could read it to herself or listen to the narrator and my preschooler loved the animal sounds                 Interactive and Educational

The Nativity Story is a wonderful and interactive app Its great for beginning readers as the narrator can read the story to you or you can read the story yourself for more advanced readers Each scene is beautifully illustrated in popup book style as you move from page to page You can interact with many objects on each page by moving them or getting them to talk This app is another wonderful way for kids to be reminded of what the Christmas season is all about                 Wonderful and Interactive App

I love that the app is able to hold my sons attention not boring or repetitive but fun and engaging I know that he is learning something while looking through the scenes The app will be part of our holiday season for years to come                 Fun and educational

My kids love the app They have been figuring out all the hidden features and listening to the story They love the app                 Enthralls my kids

This app shares the Nativity Story in a fun and interactive way You can read the story or choose to have it read to you This app is full of fun sound effects and beautifully detailed pictures that come to life through the story The whole family can enjoy this app and remember what Christmas is about                 Detailed and Intetactive Love it

This app is fun truly interactive and tells a beautiful story The illustrations are lovely Its great for a wide age because kids can be read to or read independently The fact that it offers more languages is a bonus for bilingual families or students learning a foreign language to have a fun immersion experience Great family app we enjoyed it                 Love it

This app is a great way to share the story of Christmas with young kids and will leave them with an ageappropriate understanding My 35 year old loves the interactive features and I love the vintage popup look to the story                 Perfect Way To Share Christmas with Young Kids

Keeps my 15 and 35 year Old entertained EVERY time we listen Interactive and FUN Going to listen to this every day in December so my children understand the true meaning of Christmas                 Best Christmas Story Ever

I really liked the beautiful graphics and interaction on this app The text that was read was good as wellit rhymes and has good content I only had a few issues I noticed that some of Josephs words were a little unbelievable Mary I love you so much I think Ill make you somethingor something like that The first thing my daughter said was Mom one of the characters that was supposed to be a woman sounds like a man I noticed that too A little confusing for kids There was a female voice for Mary so I think they could add one for the other character Stacey              Beautiful graphics but some issues

As a Christian mom I am always on the lookout for fun ways to keep Jesus at the heart of our holiday celebrations and to teach my son and eventually my daughter the true meaning behind Christmas We incorporate it into our decor listen to classic Christmas hymns and have found some amazing books as well But lets be honest for many kids these days my son included its all about the technology Honestly he would much rather play on Mommy or Daddys iPhone than sit down to read an actual bookso the Nativity Story app for the iPhone or iPad was a perfect fit for our family A phone app that not only teaches my technologically savvy little man about the birth of Christ but also keeps him engaged in the story Yes please My little guy can be quite picky about books both regular and digital but this app truly has so many features to keep him interested The Story There are two options available with this app you can read to yourself or be read to making it ideal for any level reader to enjoy In the app we follow Mary and Joseph in their journey through Bethlehem as they search for a place to stay for the night It is written beautifully and has a great rhythm that children and parents alike will love and helps to keep little ones engaged in the story After youve finished reading this creative version you can also read the story as told in the bible as well The Visual Appeal The artwork in this app are truly amazing It has classic woodcut style illustrations that certainly captured MY attention as an adult It has a vintage pop up book style look to it which makes it great for us adults but also remains fun for the little eyes as well For me personally the graphics certainly make this app memorable The Interaction For my sonand most kids Im surethis is what its all about It may be a beautifully written story with amazing illustrations but thats not what he cared about most For him interactive features were the key and this app was full of them Throughout the story there were speech bubbles that your little one could click on to hear the characters speak adding more depth to the story They could also move the characters and different elements throughout the story as well My son particularly liked tossing around a couple caged chickensit added no real significance to the story but kept him entertained and made him want to keep going He could knock on doors tap on windows pull chains etc to introduce new characters into the story and help in the search for a place to stay But perhaps our favorite interaction was at the end when you could help a band of angels play their instruments So much fun all around Overall we absolutely LOVED this app If you have a little one who loves technology and youre looking for a fun way to keep the birth of Jesus in the center of your holiday celebrations the Nativity Story app is a great way to do so                 Wonderful Way To Keep Christ in Christmas

I was really happy to be able to review the The Nativity Story App I like you can download it onto your iPhone or iPad First of all I love how simple and easy this app is to use Second thing I love about it was that you could either read it by yourself or you could have it read to you Plus if you have it read to you you can push on the characters on certain pages and the characters will add a little extra I also really like the fact that it can be read in 3 different languages Its a great story to get you in the holiday spirit Its also a great tale about Mary and Joesph and Jesus That can be told over and over again My children really enjoyed listening to it being read to them Especially my 6 year old And even though its suggested for children 38 years old My 10 11 and 12 year olds enjoyed listening to it I would definitely suggest this app to anyone with young children Though its enjoyable for everyone in the family                 Great App No Matter Your Age

I showed the app to my eightyearold son and said Im going to write a review on this app so I need you to tell me what you think On the first page he said I like it He loved the interactive features all the way through the story I highly recommend this app for anyone whose 28 yearold child might have an opportunity to use it during the Christmas season                 Very Good App for Children
