Dragon Brush deserves a spot on every family’s digital book shelf. This colorful app will be read and re-read by parents and children alike. Gift Dragon Brush to your favorite young hipster-in-training. The book’s well-designed GUI and indie rock soundtrack mean you’ll never have to buy another ironic onesie from WryBaby or Threadless Kids T-shirt again. Date: May 29, 2012

The only thing missing from an otherwise perfect children’s digibook is any sort of help for kids learning to read. A mode where the text is highlighted as it’s read aloud might be helpful for burgeoning readers. That said, both the story and the illustrations are charming, sometimes deliciously silly, and will appeal to adults almost as much as to children. Perhaps, then, save the extra reading modes for Dora and Disney books and let the best narration for Dragon Brush be a parent’s voice at bedtime. Date: May 28, 2012

Overall, this is a stellar new title. As a digital app, it is also solidly made, with useful navigation settings and very polished narration (however, it does not highlight as narrated). Readers of all ages will fall in love with little Bing-Wen and his magical story. Highly Recommended! Date: January 10, 2013
