Alphabet of Space

What it is/what you do with it: a storybook app with facts about stars, galaxies, rockets etc.

Three reading modes: listen to the narration and follow the text, read the book yourself (or have the story read to you by a parent) and autoplay. Touch the objects on pages and their name will be displayed and read out. Touch the highlighted word for extra facts.

What we liked: good educational value. Quality illustrations. Excellent reading options (words are highlighted when read by the narrator, you can touch a word to have it read out, tap twice to repeat a paragraph, picture-word associations). Professional narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds.

What we didn't like: the pages are very static, there are no interactive elements (apart from the read-out features).
