Scruffy Kitty is one of those characters who is a perfect combinations of silly, fun and just an adorable “underdog” type. The illustration style is fabulous and a little like a modern update to Eric Carlé. In addition to wonderful illustrations, the British accented voice over is perfect and there are interactive elements on each page. Although, better for younger kids toddler to preschool, all my children 5, 7 & 9 enjoyed it and played the story several times. I think we would all like to know what happens to Scruffy Kitty next!
Improvements?
The sticker page keeps the same great illustration style, but lacks that extra ‘something” to make it great.
Price
At $4.99 this is a very expensive eBook app and bound to put off a lot of customers.
Bottom-line
Scruffy Kitty is a great character making this an adorable eBook for the whole family, but the price is just too expensive. The sticker page s a nice extra, but could do with more. I’d like to see what Scruffy Kitty gets up to next!
