Description
Who’s knocking on the mouse hole? When mouse peeks out, he sees Milo…and off they go! Down the hall…through the kitchen…up the stairs…across the piano…around and around and around and around—Milo and mouse turn the house upside down as they scamper, pounce, jump and bounce through every room. It’s a spirited chase right up to the exuberant surprise ending! Every screen invites the user right into Milo’s world of toys, music, and mayhem—including a rocket, a UFO, a piano with keys that bash, paintings that jump from their frames and a giggly pack of mischievous mice.
With more than 80 tap-interactive objects that initiate more than 125 animations just right for active young fingers and minds, this interactive exciting cat-chases-mouse story is ideal for pre-readers and young readers alike. With simple vocabulary and sound-out words, A PRESENT FOR MILO provides a fun, engaging read-to or read-aloud experience at a terrific value. It’s perfect for pre-readers and young readers—all animations, narration and sound effects are activated by a simple finger tap or swipe.
It’s hours of fun with a thoroughly engaging story, animations, tap-able surprises and silly sound effects—a perfect digital storybook.
Here’s what the critics are saying:
"'Milo' raises the bar for interactivity within the book apps category, and its delightful surprise ending will have kids wanting to read it again and again" – USAToday.com
“I love it. Mostly I love the small details in the touch aspect that shows more innovation in the space - and better execution. The rocket, the musical notes and metronome...it is an eBook, with almost game like function - which is a great balance.” – Daniel Donahoo, Wired – GeekDad blogger

Customer Reviews
Page turning not good, try some other app
It is very difficult for a child to keep the pages going forward.
Slight gestures make the pages go backwards, causing too much frustration and taking the fun out of this app.
A Present for Milo
10 month old just loves the many little surprises when the pictures are touched. Very cute! Please write another book soon. Very well done.
My 20 month old's favorite App!
My son loves this app and always asks for "ipad kitty" in the morning. Very interactive with lots of fun things to click on. Only request is to please make turning the pages a more deliberate action. I would say my son turns the pages twice as often as clicking on items since it is so sensitive. Otherwise would be 5 stars.
