The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton App Reviews

My biggest complaint is that the book is WAY too short for $3. This has only a minute portion of the production value as the Pop Out books which I also own. Tis was a big disappointment.

My 3 year old and I simply adore this interactive book! She never tires of all the fun, as we must read it every night before bedtime. This is a fabulous app...you wont be disappointed"

After 10-15 attempts, I literally have not been able to read this book yet. It crashes every single time I open it. I give it five stars because I know its going to be awesome as soon as it gets some stability. So how bout it?

This is an excellent re-imagining of the actual book. So interactive and full of fun surprises for kids and adults alike. Now whenever we read the actual book my 18-month-old keeps tapping the pages waiting for something cool to happen.

I love this app but my 11 month old baby loves it even more. She loves interacting with the characters. Awesome app!!!

Our 20 month old daughter was already a huge fan of the board book version of this classic from Sandra Boynton, to say that she "read" it a million times is barely an exaggeration. Although very familiar with the book she had a blast rediscovering her love for it as a result of the interactive nature of this version! It was wonderful watching her explore the pages, tapping on objects and characters, and getting rewarded by whimsical sounds and reactions. Kudos to the developer and to Sandra for their faithful reproduction of the original experience of reading this book, while also adding great interactivity as well! I would love to see more of Sandras books adapted for the iPad!!

I would sooooo love this if only it did not CRASH every darn time. Either fix it or refund me please.

My 5yr old, my 2yr and I love this App. Sweet, fun, charming, interactive and smart. Great fun.

Still no sound....after three reboots and various settings amendments both in software and hardware.

App will not run. Please help!

Cute idea in theory but several things I found annoying, primarily the narrators voice for one. Its a slow drone thats nowhere near reflecting the energy of the words. I know its a going to bed book but its a lifeless narration so I end up reading it. Additionally, some of the interactive features dont work for me. Love Sandra Boynton but not this type of execution.

She loves all the interactive features of the book. We loved exploring to figure them all out. We have had an intermittent issue with the tooth brushing page. After activating the hot water it gets stuck and emits this horrible noise. Its scary for my 15 month old, so not at all good for bedtime. We have been able to remedy the problem by closing the app and waiting a few minutes before re-opening.

I purchased this app on my iPad. When you turn the first page the screen goes black. I want to be able to use it. Please fix it!

NO SOUND!

I have no idea if this is a good book or not. The program crashes after page one.

Overall very nicely done! Ill agree that the narrator is pretty droning...I dont think energetic would work though, as it is a going to bed book...so...it it what it is. Interactions are cute and fun on every page! I still enjoy going through it from time to time :)

It would be very difficult to rank anything Sandra Boynton below 5 stars, since the material that is enhanced is so great on its own. The Going to Bed Book is wonderfully narrarated and Boyntons animations come to life with activities such as dressing for bed, running up the stairs, or steaming up the iPads screen with hot water. This App is great for any child who enjoys Boyntons books and a fun tool for parents and children to view together.

Well executed! The music is so soothing and, contrary to some of the other reviews, the narrators voice is perfect. The graphics are lovely and the interactive features work wonderfully. A wonderful tribute to a childhood favorite.

Heres the thing about the Boynton book apps. They are not cheap or buggy. Its fun for the kids to distract themselves and play them over again and again. My two year old can find these and launch them himself. My seven year old still enjoys them even though she is on to chapter books by now. Must have at dinner or doctors office.

We have a 2 year old. He has lots of books on the iPhone. The ones that auto- play, like Dr Suess and Mercer Mayer, are perfect for a toddler who has his little fingers all over the screen. The book continues to play. But this book doesnt work like that. Every time we open this book Boy starts touching the screen and this book stops, squawks, reverses, all in 3 seconds. We have to then take the phone away snd re- start it On EVERY page! We have never gotten thru this annoying, obnoxious book and Im furious that I paid $4 for this crappy programming. Dont make the same mistake I did. Stay away.
