The book is beautifully designed with eye-popping illustrations on every page and a fantastic story to boot. My 6-year-old son has not put it down since I bought it two days ago. He really loves playing with the illustrations–touching anywhere on any single page will show a surprising and cute animation. As a parent, I love the fact that he’s learning to read, with and without me being there, and is exposed to such literary, visual and musical creativity while he’s learning. I’d give this book an A+!

Among the app’s features:

• Read with your child
• Read along with two different narrators
• Read with music soundtrack
• Touch to see the pictures animate in a surprising and fun way
• Touch to turn the pages or let us turn the pages automatically for you
• Touch to skip to any chapter in the story

Classics is a revolutionary but relatively simple iPhone book reader that you can actually “flip” each page individually with a suitable flipping sound!

There are plenty of classical books (20 in total) available for you to read using it’s cool interface. 

Features

1. Realistic flipping animation & sound that you can control totally just like a real book will
2. Bookmark your last read chapters and it will remember even after you closed the application
3. The usual chapters selection
4. 20 Classic books to choose from (more to come I hope)
5. Big fonts that looks like a real book

This for a bookworm will be rated 8 out of 10 due to the fact it has limited books available for reading and lack more features to let user to add in their own ebook or pdf collections which is a waste of such quality iPhone eBook Reader.

Other book reader has more features such as Stanza or eReader but does not have the great reading experience close to this baby!

Features that I wish the developer can add in (in my dreams)

1. A third party converter to convert PDF, DOC, ebook into classic combatible format
2. Ability to import books similar to Stanza from websites
3. A list of websites to upload books (for private viewing only)
