1 Little Boy

Parents need to know that 1 Little Boy is a charming storybook app that encourages players to boost their counting and reading skills. A little boy takes a journey of imagination, picturing himself skipping down the road -- and other locations -- with his stuffed animals, all of whom are clever nods to other fairy tale standards (such as Puss in Boots and the cow who jumped over the moon). Animals make appropriate sounds when their images are touched and can be tapped into existence on subsequent screens, which aids in learning numbers. The story can be read without aid by an older user, narrated by Aviv Katz or parents with an iPad or iPhone can record their own voices to narrate the story to their children.
