Really sweet, well-made story and the voices are brilliant. We downloaded it at home first which was handy as signal drops out in the middle of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park.

Really clever idea. My youngest needed a bit of help with some of the riddles but the narrator gives gentle clues. We'll be back for the autumn one.

Did it with an eight-year-old and a two-year-old and it somehow worked for both. The eight-year-old read the clues out to her brother. Proper family afternoon.
