Is It Any Good?
Kids interact with BRITANNICA KIDS: RAINFORESTS by using a scroll-wheel that pops up from the bottom of the screen, which is an awkward way to navigate to the different sections of the app. However, this is the only complaint with what is otherwise a visually appealing and highly educational reference tool. In addition to interactive games and videos, kids can also click on highlighted words in the text for pop-up definitions of words like "photosynthesis," "drought," and "canopy."
