Story Hour: Adventures Review
Not only is it interactive (child is asked, about once every 10 still pictures, to complete a task with the Wiimote), but it is flexible.
Parents can choose to have the voice talent read the story or you can turn the option off and read the story for your child.
While there is a robust Options menu (volume, subtitles, page turning, sound effects), it's a shame that the subtitle size can't be changed. Bigger text would help the younger kids with word recognition.
With each of the four stories lasting about 15-20 minutes (depending on how fast your child is able to handle the interactive tasks), this can potentially be a fun bedtime routine alternative to the standard story time.
Lastly, I found the stories to be non-violent, inclusive and respectful of diversity.
