Books & Magics 'The Little Mermaid' is an innovative and convincing constellation of medias that challenge our way of reading and understanding litterature. At the same time it offers a real and obvious opportunity for children and adults to gather around litterature in both the reading out- and game situation. Here none of them excludes the other.

This App is helping kids to love reading as a noble cause and is deeply innovative in combining game mechanics with a linear story telling in a book. It is the most incredible thing I have come across yet!
The Apple Google
5-star rating for concept, functionality, features & value. 'The Little Mermaid' is an incredibly fun augmented reality book [that] includes tons of great features that make it an amazing app for youngsters. Not only does it allow 3-D exploration, but there are plenty of fun mini games that follow along with the classic storyline.

The iPhone App Review
I love that most of the old phrases from the original fairy tale have been kept in the text. That means that my son asks a lot of questions and that we sometimes need to take time out to sit and talk about the words and their meaning. But that's a win-win in terms of his improved vocabulary – plus were having a great time together, too. I love it!

Both of my girls just love the book, and we've been reading aloud many times – also as a bedtime story, even though the girls can't seem to get enough once we've started. This is perfect for kids… and curious adults!

The Little Mermaid is a unique take on the Hans Christian Andersen classic that engrosses and entertains as it tells its wondrous tale. What makes this app so special is the magic that appears within the illustrations. Not only do the characters and scenery seem to pop out of the book, but the items within are interactive. It is all quite a lot of fun and it all looks really great.

The Smartphone App Review
It can be quite a struggle to remove children from their tablets, they know very intuitively how they work. So I think it's really great finally to have a tool that makes good use of the ways in which children use iPads – and with this old Hans Christian Andersen classic as its enlightening foundation, it's even better!
