What it is: a collection of about 70 nursery rhymes with the main interface based on Paul Whitman's Mother Goose composite painting (e.g. Three Blind Mice, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Jack and Jill).

What you do with it: navigate around the painting (swipe,pinch to zoom), choose a character and tap on it to display the rhyme associated with this character (alternatively an alphabetical index can be used to access the rhymes). Tap on the icons to play the rhyme's music or to have the narrator read the rhyme.

What we liked: the concept, beautiful 'interface' with many details to explore.

What we didn't like: the narration (we recommend parents reading the rhymes instead of the available narrators), very poor text layout. No animations.
