What is it and what do you do with it: an interactive version of the book by Lisa Campbell Ernst (about 14 pages long). Listen to the story or read it yourself. Guess along as the story progresses through each clue.

Extra activity: spin and tap the globe to learn more facts about the earth.

What we liked: the concept and the story. Nice illustrations and colors. High level of engagement. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Reading options (including word highlighting). Ease of use. No distracting elements.

What we didn't like: the extra activity feature is very basic and could offer even more educational value.
