Reviews:
"This is one of the best designed interactive children's books I've ever seen"

- Mac Observer

"Harry and the Haunted House is a twelve page interactive storybook that blends a well-told story written by Mark Schlichting with thoughtful animation by developer Wanderful. The app offers Read to Me or Let Me Play modes. The former is especially delightful. Animations play automatically, which encourages children to listen up, watch, and take a break from clicking their mouse. The story's words are highlighted as expressive voice actors read them so that early readers can follow along."
