What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Animal Book is an educational app that aims to help kids learn 39 different animals and their sounds. The animals are portrayed with bright, colorful, cartoonish illustrations. A narrator pronounces the name of each animal clearly. The app includes ads, that when tapped, can take kids out of the app.

Is it any good?

 

ANIMAL BOOK is a cute way for children to learn different animal names and the noises associated with them. Children will be drawn to the large, colorful illustrations along with the mostly realistic recordings of animal sounds. Animal Book also provides a quiz section where kids are challenged to identify the correct animal from four different pictures. When players select the correct animal, they are encouraged by an applauding audience. However, when players choose the wrong answer, they are alerted with an intimidating "buzz." Parents should know that Animal Book is a nice way for young kids to learn or pass time, but the ads can become obnoxious and lead users to external links.
