Bizzy Bear on the Farm
© 2011 Nosy Crow
Here's another excellent Nosy Crow app, this time an adaptation of the children's book by Benji Davies that has just been released in the U.S. by Candlewick Press. In the nine-screen presentation, children help Bizzy Bear on the farm, picking apples (dragging and dropping from the tree to a basket), gathering eggs, feeding the pigs and rounding up the lambs into their pen. As in "The Three Little Pigs", the narration by children is professionally done, and the activities work well to support the story. In a unique twist, parent options let you determine the amount of time the text appears (short, medium and long). See also Bizzy Bear Builds a House.
