Kids Song Machine 2 - Around the World HD
Parent and Kid Reviews
Is It Any Good?
The eight songs are fun, but it's the settings around the world featuring Indian elephants, amorous cats on a Venice gondola ride, kids bouncing around on a red double-decker bus or donning a giant dragon in a parade that will get little ones spinning the wheel on the stylish title page ready for another adventure. There are a few fun things to tap on each song page: Sheep jump in the mountains, giggling kids pop out of the Chinese dragon, and hearts erupt from the gondola kitties when nudged. Finding the interactive bits doesn't take long.
The only downside -- and it's a small one -- is that the songs on KIDS SONG MACHINE 2, except for "London Bridges," aren't more immediately recognizable. It keeps parents from following up this mild music lesson with singing around the house.
