The New Baby
Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

Is It Any Good?
THE NEW BABY is a cute story app and is of good quality, but there's nothing about it that will "wow" you -- it follows Oceanhouse Media's standard formula for storybook apps. Young kids will enjoy being able to tap on the different elements to see and hear the words. They may appreciate learning more about what kinds of things a baby enjoys, especially if they are about to become a big brother or sister.
