Wanderful brings every page of this classic Aesop’s fable to life. Read and play along as the Tortoise proves that slow and steady wins the race.

After purchasing and downloading this app I was only able to get it to work once, after that it keeps crashing. I have made sure I have the latest update and have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. Very disappointed as my daughter really enjoyed the one play she got. Wouldn't recommend.
