REVIEW: Cozmo's Day Off by Ayars Animation

Story: This is an original story about Cozmo (a being from another planet) who takes a day off from work. The plot, as simple as it is, is a little murky. I found myself having to turn back a few pages to find out what was actually going on. It may be because there were so many interactive parts to each page that the storyline is soon forgotten.

Interface: Story issues aside, this ebook has some of the most interactive elements per page I've ever seen. The kids really seemed to enjoy exploring each page, almost every object seemed to have some sort of animation. The interface is pretty easy to use and has some interesting elements, like the ability to change the pitch of the narrators voice from low to high. There is a simple video game in the middle of the book, the kids nor I found it fun or easy to play.

Artwork: The images are some of the best I've ever seen, even better than the Disney Digital book we recently reviewed.

Devices: Available on iPad/iPhone/iPod touch.

Summary: The story is a bit thin, but the interactive elements and images are some of the best out there.
