What's New in The Legend of Momotaro 1.0 >

This is a really neat story that engages both adults and kids. My 4 year old loved listening to the narrator and interacting with the endless landscape animations. It is really cool to hear the narrator pronounce words, when the element is touched by the reader. For example, my daughter loved to touch the various objects in the story, because of the interesting animation. When she touches a flower twice, the flower blooms and a piece of paper opens up with a picture of the flower and the word for the flower in Japanese. She would do this endlessly with countless objects, all the while learning a bit of the language. The story fun as well, and everything is incredibly intuitive. Even my 3 year old figured out how to move the story along. Make no mistake though. This is a great app for adults as well.
