Animal Rescue

10/4/2017 Note that the menu has been simplified, increasing feelings of control. The rating has been adjusted. Short, sweet and innovative, this app deals with the treatment of 14 common animals that are often subject to hunting or captivity. For example, on one page you might see a set of chickens in cages. Your swipe turns them into free-range chickens. The illustrations are well done and the sounds support the narrative. This app is designed to reinforce an environmental message about the ethical treatment of animals. Designed for the iPhone 5 and up, iPad and Android. Ebooks are easy to find in many forms, but this is the first we've found to offer "transparent pages" that let you move items from one page to the other with a swipe. In this case, you flip the page to rescue one of animals by way of a clever visual trick that you control with your swipe. Need to know: There's not much content -- just 14 animals and no other interactive features besides the page trick. But it's a cool visual trick that is high in child control.
