Lulu in the Amazon

What it is/what you do with it: an interactive book/virtual trip introducing kids to landmarks of the Amazon/rainforest. 20 pages/scenes, 2 language versions.

Go through the scenes (either all scenes in a sequence or by picking the scenes/places from the map), listen to the description/instructions and complete the activities (e.g. shoot with a bow, catch fish etc).

What we liked: the concept. Good variety of activities complementing the storyline. Many extra features (souvenirs, stickers, postcards). Ease of use. Spoken instructions. Sounds and sound backgrounds.

What we didn't like: the app could have more educational value (e.g. there is no facts or 'real-life' explanations etc). The reading options could be more 'young reader friendly'.
