More fun if you were a kid I bet.
This review is for the PlayStation 4 version

It's a pretty little game with a strong, short message and terrible mini-games. Thankfully, those mini-games are optional. I'm sure it would have made more impact if I had a connection to the books, I'm also sure if you're a kid this game would be pretty neat!

Book made as an interactive tale for children

First of all, this is not a game in the full sense of the word. I would classify it more like an interactive tale for children.

The story is based on this book from Colin Thiele and it's basically a beautiful artwork that explains the adventures of a boy and his pelican. As part of the storytelling, the user can play some simple interactive events as the boy or the pelican. The controls for those mini-games are simple enough for very young audiences.

If you have little children you can play it together. The game is not more than 30-60 minutes and, as a child, you might enjoy the simplicity of the games, letting your imagination go. As an adult, this is not a "game" for you.

I don't have children, but if one day I have this is a "game" I will play with them, for sure.
