“This is a marvelous learning app for kids from toddler to kindergarten age because of its range and content. Hungry Caterpillar Play School shows Eric Carle’s sweet, colorful, and eye-catching animal characters as animated features in the games.”
– Common Sense Media
“A calming intro to the digital world, this app features familiar characters from Eric Carle’s books, along with clear directions and slower-paced play. Many activities focus on math or reading, but the relaxation techniques, like using a Brown Bear to encourage mindful breathing, come in handy.”
– Parents Magazine – Best App for Toddlers
“This app is perfect to help kids learn the skills they’ll need for starting school. Hungry Caterpillar Play School has five main areas of learning for kids to play in — shapes and colors, alphabet, numbers, book reading, and arts and puzzles. The app’s design has beautiful realistic and 3D details, while staying true to the bright colors and style of the beloved Eric Carle book it’s based on.”
