Peekaboo Wild

Our Review

This clever app builds on the foundation of the remarkably successful Peekaboo Barn. For Peekaboo Wild, instead of knocking on the barn door to be greeted by a mélange of farmyard animals, you tap the rustling savannah grass to view the exotic animals on the African plain. Each animal is identified by the sound they make as well as their written and spoken name in either English or Spanish. The educational focus is early literacy, language skills and animal identification. I couldn’t wait to upload this app because my toddler and I love the stunning graphics and sweet narration of Peekaboo Barn. The formula (concept, artwork, and even narration) are very similar but the animals and sounds make this a completely new experience for my little one. It’s a bit pricey considering you only get to peek at eleven animals on this safari tour, but it’s worth it to me; my toddler can’t get enough of the adorable hippo and I enjoy the elegance of this artful app.

Description from the Developer

In the waving grasses of the African savannah, friendly wild animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the rustling grass to find out!

Have a great time with your child learning the names of animals--in English or Spanish--and hearing the sounds they make! Younger children will love peeking through the grass to find a new animal, as they learn about cause and effect and become familiar with animal names and sounds. Older children will enjoy guessing animals by sound, then seeing the animal names, which helps develop early literacy skills. Peekaboo Wild once again features illustrations by Divya Srinivasan, whose work is regularly featured in the New Yorker.

Peekaboo Wild was made for you and your toddler by artists and educators, not marketers, robots, or companies repackaging clip art. Our team has backgrounds in cognitive science and child development, and we've worked in educational media everywhere from Yahoo! to the Smithsonian Institution.

When you could really use a safe distraction--in airports, restaurants, and waiting rooms--or you'd like to try something new with your little genius, Peekaboo Wild is the educational, artful solution. Enjoy!

PEEKABOO BARN
Peekaboo Wild is the sequel to the bestselling Peekaboo Barn, also available on the iTunes App Store. Inside a little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out!
