Simms Taback Children's Book Collection
© 2013 CJ Educations
Five stories in one app include Safari Animals, City Animals, Who Said Moo?, Where is My Baby?, and Wiggle! Like an Octopus. The stories feature non-fiction cartoon renditions of popular animals, presenting adult and baby animal names, the different sounds and how they move. The stories are from the late illustrator Simms Taback and children’s author Harriet Ziefert. They were brought to the touch screen by CJ Educations and Blue Apple Books. Other features include: Read to Me and Auto Play options; easy-to-read text with word highlighting designed to encourage beginning readers; narration with both child and adult voices; five original songs; song time; activities such as matching an animal with the correct sound it makes ; Read to Me text can be repeated by tapping the word; and music and narration can be turned off/on. The graphics are excellent but the interactivity is limited. There are no in-app purchases or ads.
