VivaKids' ABC

What it is: interactive alphabet with animated stories illustrating letters.

What you do with it: choose a letter, touch it to see a short animated movie with the object (or objects) whose name starts with the letter. Practice tracing the letter with your finger.

What we liked: the concept, very easy operation, beautiful illustrations and movies.

What we didn't like: very little interaction (touching the movie just stops it). The tracing feature is very basic (e.g. there are no visual clues). We didn't like some of the movies (belching panda, skunk passing gas...). No phonics (could be added as an option). The price could be lower.
