Little World

What it is: a virtual meadow with 7 animated interactive animals.

What you do with it: touch the objects in the scene for interaction and sounds, e.g.: drag your finger around the screen and the bird wil follow, make the animals jump on the toy trampoline, touch the cloud for rain and thunder, change the day into the night and make the animals sleep, play a simple melody by touching the trees. There are about 50 actions and sounds altogether.

What we liked: good concept, kid-friendly graphics, easy operation, number of interactive elements, good for keeping a toddler busy for some time.

What we didn't like: just one scene (we would expect more for this price), some activities are better and more engaging (e.g. making the bird fly) then other (dragging the sailboat). The objects (animals) could be a bit bigger and easier to touch for smaller kids. Some of the interactions were objectionable to our reviewers (e.g. tossing the cat onto the dog and make them 'fight'). Rather limited educational value (why not read out names of the animals/objects when they are touched)?
