A Troop is a Group of Monkeys
Overall Score: 96/100

Best for: Interactive books, Early literacy, Interaction, Language
What it is: an interactive book teaching the collective nouns for animals (a parliament of owls, a pride of lions, a bloat of hippopotami etc). 16 pages + information for teachers and parents.
What you do with it: listen to the narration or read the book yourself. Touch the animals for simple interactions.
What we liked: the story. Nice illustrations. Simple interactions complementing the animal scenes. Professional narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use.
What we didn't like: reading options could be better (words are not highlighted, you can't easily repeat a paragraph). The theme song should have a separate place in the main menu (now it is played only on the 'credits' page which has prominent links to Twitter and Facebook).
