Happy Valentine’s Day, Little Critter
© 2015 Oceanhouse Media
A playful Valentine's day theme meets the same touch-and-hear, tried-and-true interactive design treatment given nearly 100 previous Oceanhouse Media apps. Children can touch any illustration to see an instant word label; which is an excellent scaffolding technique. A mini-game allows children to tap on hidden spiders and mice throughout the story to see a tally of how many they found at the end of the book. As with other Oceanhouse Media apps, it is possible to record your own narration. in the story, Little Critter is celebrating Valentine's Day at school, decorating the classroom, eating cupcakes, and making Valentine's Day mailboxes. Little Critter is making an extra special card for a special valentine. Features include: highlighted narration; tappable words and pictures; record your own narration & share it with others; select a scene with easy-to-use navigation; and parental controls. In addition, the app features two find-the-creature mini games.
