Review:
"Ruffs Bone is an animated interactive storybook that follows Ruff the dogs zany hunt for his bone from the yard next door to another planet and back home again. Almost every object is animated and our kid testers had predictable fun searching for the hidden animated surprise on each page. Tension builds as users try to beat Ruff in finding his bone. This app is based on the gifted Eli Noyes book of the same title.

The developer is to be commended for advancing reading skill development in a well-crafted, extremely intelligent manner."
