The Animal Alphabet Singers, as the name may imply, is an app for babies and toddlers that helps them learn the alphabet as well as animals associated with these letters. This app includes sections that allow children to explore the alphabet in many ways. One section of this app, also named The Animal Alphabet Singers includes a group of 26 animals - each of which can each be tapped to hear the corresponding letter to be sung, with the letter also being highlighted below for a nice effect. Do tap on a letter as well because doing so will trigger singing from the related animal.
I am smitten by how human-like these animals sound; each with its own personality that comes through as very distinct voices are used for each of these creatures. From gruff but lovable personalities to more demure-sounding ladies' voices, they go a long way in creating characters for each of these subjects. Likewise, I am quite fond of the animated scene seen during Meet The Animals and after each correct answer in the Guess The Letters game - charming ways to encourage children to keep playing. It is worth noting that the creators of The Animal Alphabet Singers are associated with such famed children’s shows as Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and more. Their combined talents have made this app a very special standout in a sea of other alphabet apps. The illustrations and animated scenes are bright, colorful, and interestingly stylized. Both the narration and animal voices are top-notch, bringing some witty moments that will keep adults' attention as well as their children's - always important as families will be spending some time teaching letters to their children.
