REVIEWS:

‘X is for X-Ray, by Touch Press, is an extraordinary new app that takes full advantage of what is possible when you combine creative and innovative developers with the ever evolving world of technology! Upon first look, we said, “WOW, WOW & WOW again!” This one adjective resounded throughout, along with “OMG, AMAZING, and COOL,” as we explored this incredibly unique app.’

‘It might be aimed for younger children, as the book is yet another A to Z version of the same 26 letters. This time though, the concept is mind-boggling as each object is x-rayed to reveal the underlying skeleton. As teachers we couldn’t wait to share this app with students and see if they would agree that we had something very special here. They agreed... and the first word uttered was once again, “WOW”.’
