Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree
Is It Any Good?
FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS SITTING IN A TREE is a fun storybook app for young kids about the five little monkeys made famous from the song about jumping on the bed. This time, they are harassing a crocodile from atop a tree limb suspended over a river. Monkey shenanigans aside, the app allows kids to practice their reading, and to interact with the story. In the background there are music and sounds appropriate to the story that add richness to the app. In Autoplay, the narrator pauses for a moment after she is done reading before the page gets turned, to allow kids to tap on the page or look at the drawings.
