La Forêt Mes Premières Découvertes
© 2012 Gallimard Jeunesse
One of the best iPad references for children to date, La Forêt by Gallimard Jeunesse features clear, hand drawn, labeled illustrations, professional French narration, and a well designed table of contents. Features include 3D illustrations that respond to screen tilting, the ability to "paint" seasons with your finger, hidden animals and insects and realistic ambient sounds. Note, that there is no English language option. You can use this title to expose your child to a real immersive French experience. It all adds up to an excellent science experience, in any language. There are six parts to the app: trees, seasons, life in the forest, flowers, forestry and types of forests around the world. The content is limited, but is of very high quality. Illustrations are by René Mettler. Developed by Studio v2 for Gallimard Jeunesse.
