Reviews:
"This is one of the best designed interactive children's books I'veever seen" - Mac Observer

"Harry and the Haunted House is a twelve page interactivestorybook that blends a well-told story written by Mark Schlichtingwith thoughtful animation by developer Wanderful. The app offersRead to Me or Let Me Play modes. The former is especiallydelightful. Animations play automatically, which encourageschildren to listen up, watch, and take a break from tapping theirscreen. The story's words are highlighted as expressive voiceactors read them so that early readers can follow along.

Though in a sense a ghost story, Harry and the Haunted Housewill inspire more giggles than scares. After Harry hits hisbaseball a little too far, he and his friends decide to look for itin the abandoned house where it lands. Children will enjoy seeinghow Harry and his friends' imaginations create spooky situations.They see ghosts that turn out to be their own reflection, forexample, and hear strange noises that are actually Harry's dogplaying with the found ball. In the end, children learn that scarythings (like old houses, dark closets, or the space under a bed)are not so terrible once one learns more about them."
