ABC Wildlife
© 2011 Peapod Labs
What if you could turn YouTube into a huge alphabet book? That's the idea behind the ABC series of apps from Peapod Labs -- a well designed touch-based word wall where a single tap leads to a set of 237 continually updated, letter-themed videos. Note that you'll need an active Internet connection to keep the app updated. Don't miss H (Hampster eating popcorn on a piano). Content includes 80 well-screened animal videos (we couldn't find a lemon in the bunch), and several hundred clear photos. For example, H also includes horse, hornet and hippo, each with a video. Source URLS are provided. You can also keep track of the all the animals you have explored. Note, an internet connection is required to play videos in ABC Wildlife. See also ABC Music and ABC Go.
