Story Fort has just published an interactive book just for kids, about a cyclops called Carl who has a big dilemma. In this story, kids follow Carl, while he tries to resolve his problems, kids also get to learn in a really fun and interactive way.

The first thing that struck me about this interactive book was the music! We love fun, upbeat music, so this is definitely a plus point. The other thing was, the very colorful illustrations that caught my 4 year old. He wasn’t too sure about the cyclops, and seemed to prefer the monsters more! There are many other lil gems in there, that would keep any kid entertain for some time. One of which, is when you click on a highlighted word, an image would pop out and it would be read aloud. What a great way for kids to learn and build their vocabulary.

There is even a bonus memory game, which all kids love! My son was truly entertained by this book and it is great for kids between the ages of 3-5. It is currently available for PC users only.

Check out the music video!
