My little boy doesn't normally like Mickey Mouse but he seems to like this. He quite enjoys flipping between the story and the mini-game. The Storio is a good tool for kids that don't like books, to enable them to be exposed to stories and with a little luck I am hoping it will help with his reading. Minor complaint is that the cartridges are small and therefore easy to lose, had to buy the back pack to hold the Storio and the cartidges, to be fair though he seems to like this as well, wearing the back pack more often than not when we go out and we use his Storio as a distraction to enjoy lunch/coffee in peace.
