What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Brave Rooney is an interactivity-packed storybook that carries the message to kids that everyone has a special talent that makes him or her a superhero. Kids can read the story on their own or have a narrator read it to them, and they can interact with more than 50 animated features on 23 pages. Rooney's story about going to a new school full of traditional superheroes and finding his own unique superpower is an encouraging storybook for all kids wondering if they measure up to their peers.
Is it any good?
Especially for kids looking to find their place in a school or social group, BRAVE ROONEY is an encouraging, important story. Rooney, who lives on the borders of NormalVille and MajesticVille, has to go to school this year with the kids in MajesticVille and doesn't seem to measure up. He finally finds his own talent in a story that will resonate with any kid (or adult) who has had the experience of feeling less talented than others in his or her peer group.

A Great App with a Great Story!
Brave Rooney is an educational and entertaining interactive iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad eBook app for emerging readers. You get a high quality app with over fifty interactive features and animations, along with a high quality story.
With all the apps on our iPad that my son has to choose from (including Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja), he still often goes back to play (and learn from) Brave Rooney!

Brave Rooney - 2 Thumbs Up!
It's special to see an app that can not only be entertaining, enjoyable and time consuming for children, but also educational and full of positive messages. Brave Rooney will touch the hearts of every child because everyone has a superpower of their own. Great story and a lot of fun interactivity!

Superheroes. Super fun!
Kids are so fascinated by superheroes that we liked the elementary school for superheroes from the start. We liked it even more when the superheroes were terrified of facing a typical childhood challenge. But leave it to Rooney, the only ordinary kid in school, to save the day. Great fun features, too!

Fun story about Shy Superheroes and an Unlikely Hero.
I was shy in elementary school, too, so I know why the superhero kids were afraid of reading in front of the class. Rooney was indeed brave to do something no superhero could do. My niece loved all the things you could touch and move.
