I think this app is suitable for the prize because of its features like game that match the story which can be developed by touching with fingers. It is very interesting. I chose it because I hope that this kind of Digital Ehon will be produced more. (Yuichi Kimura, picture book writer)

I think storytelling to put children to bed is usually makes chilrens want read parents read more as a result. The grand prize app of this award is wonderful and well-design for bedtime storytellig. Children should get sleepy gradually as they are into the world of the story without turning pages and language. We still remember picture books that read by parents before going to bed even when we become an adult. I think that memories of storytelling of Digital Ehon by parents at bed time would be an opportunity to make childrens become creative in the future.
