Best described as an "eBoardBook" for babies and toddlers, this well-crafted interactive adaptation of Sandra Boynton's book for toddlers provides a rich cause/effect experience with opportunities to explore language. There's not much content -- just eight pages, but each is well designed and high in child control. Text features include the ability to touch each word to hear it read individually with highlighting, or touch a paragraph marker to hear the entire paragraph, read in context with word highlighting. Pages turn gradually with a swipe. Additional page turn icons would increase ease of use. Options include the ability to adjust the background music. Interactive features are simple and fun to explore. You can touch the sun or the moon to toggle between night and day, and each animal makes a sound, or sings in harmony with others. The routines work nicely to enhance the story. For example, children can fill the page with quacking ducks (each touch equals another duck), or help three pigs sing. While there's not a lot of content, what's there is extremely high quality and easy to use, making this a good first app for a younger child. Created by Loud Crow Interactive and Boynton Moo Media.
