I tested the Novel Effect app myself. It was easily download onto my phone, simple to sign up and navigate around, and some of the books are available in the library if you need to borrow them! The great sound effects will help bring the book alive for you and your child. So, the next time you are reading to your child, give it a try. See what you think. ~ Mrs. Griffis
