Today's Good Free App of the Day comes courtesy of our friends at Digital Storytime, who reviewed this app (when it wasn't free) and gave it 4-1/2 stars!
This isn't the Antonio Banderas version of Puss in Boots, nor is it much of a retelling the original French fairy tale published late in the 17th century but, as with most older fairy tales, that's not such a bad thing! Puss in Boots - The Great Adventure is a cute, fun story with a far less Lady Macbethish feline protagonist.
I see no mention of how long this ebook is free, so download it now!
(Cue emails that this isn't the Shrek Puss in Boots...now...)

Here are the rules for the Good Free App of the Day.
1) Rather than just post a list with links of free apps (some of which may not be very good) we're going to find one free app each day, make sure it's worth downloading, and post the info.
2) The app has to have some substance as free. In other words, it can't be a few seconds of play and then require an in-app purchase.
3) My kids or I have to like it.
4) It can't have ads all over it.
