What it is and what you do with it: interactive version of the book by Mercer Mayer introducing 10 shapes.
Explore the pages one by one (or using the Page Selector). Tap on the pictures to hear the associated words read out.
Additional activity: the 'Find the Shape' quiz.
What we liked: original Little Critter artwork. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Good navigation and reading options (easy access to single pages, words are highlighted when read by the narrator etc.). Professional narration (plus the option to record and share your own narration).
What we didn't like: the pages are very static (apart from zoom in/zoom out type animations). The Find the Shapes activity could offer more variety and engagement.
