This app’s bright colors, fun sounds, and slick interface engage babies and toddlers to teach them animal names and sounds. Tap the screen and a moo, baa, quack, or another noise comes from the barn; tap again to reveal the animal and its name. Kids can even learn another language (Spanish is included; others can be purchased). Another perk: Record yourself or your child as narrator.
