Interactive Storybook with a few games

The Good
Tom Baker's narration is wonderful as usual. The Book is nicely presented with high quality backgrounds and animated portions of each page. Occasionally there are simple games like pick the odd word out or count the items.

The Bad
It's still only one rather short children's book. It cost £35 on release which is far too much.

The Bottom Line
I could see a child wanting to play through this over and over again and it's got a reasonable amount of content.
