We've now seen hundreds of interactive ABC book apps. Does the world need another? In this case, A is for Absolutely. Clever, animated, letter themed routines morph their way from A to Z, with the child driving every interaction. E makes an Egg, eats the egg, and then morphs into an Elephant who rides on a Globe, for G... and so on. D transforms into a creaky wooden Door, which is then pulled open to reveal Dawn, from which drifting clouds emerge to morph into animated Daydreams. The app comes from illustrator Patrick Smith, the creator of the website Vectorpark.com, through which he has released popular games such as Feed The Head and Windosill. Note that the rating was lowered after we discovered that there is no way to jump around between the letters.
