Animal Alphabet by 7H

What it is: an alphabet app with animals and short stories illustrating the usage of each letter.

What you do with it: choose a letter, touch it to hear its name and the name of the animal whose name starts with this letter. Swipe the page to listen to a short story featuring this animal. The story will usually contain many words starting with the particular letter ("Hello,Hippo, my friend!" says the hairy, hungry Hyena). The app also features a rendition of the Alphabet Song and a simple 'magnetic table' tool.

What we liked: the concept, colorful illustrations, very easy navigation and operation, a mini story for each letter.

What we didn't like: the stories are focused on repeating words starting with a particular letter, which unfortunately makes them difficult to follow (simpler texts would work much better). We would like to see more interactions and animations to make this app even more engaging. An option to record your own narration would also be a good idea.
