Big Cat, Little Cat

Big Cat, Little Cat
Reviewed on 4/15/19

This app, based on an Italian children's book, features the adventures of two cats -- one big and one little! They're on a journey and along the way they encounter obstacles big and small.  Choose the cat that you think will best be able to conquer each obstacle. You might be surprised! This wordless story app is perfect for younger users. If they choose the "wrong" cat for a job, the cat simply makes a slightly concerned meow, perhaps attempting to conquer the obstacle, and then the user has the option to decide whether or not to try the other cat. After the first time playing, kids might choose to tap on other objects in the scene (flowers bloom! Street lamps light up! more stuff happens!) to expand the enjoyment of this app even further. Tiny surprises abound, but don't necessarily distract from the main action.  How many tiny animals in nightcaps can you spot? A great way to introduce problem solving and the concept of relative size and weight to young children, feel free to extend the play beyond the screen with some big and little toys from home!
