Britannica Kids: Rainforests

This Encyclopedia of Rainforests has lots of  information in a more traditional encyclopedic form, and is good for ages 4-adult.  It is made more interesting by the lovely images, plus a few basic games (a matching game and a puzzle).  Nothing reinforces learning, but your reader can certainly gain a lot of new knowledge. The images alone are enough to captivate the non-reader.  This app’s educational value is much higher for a confident reader.  This is a good app for quiet time – sounds are not needed.  The games are simple and provide spacial relationship and memory exercises (not knowledge acquisition or practice).   Like this app? Check out the other Encyclopedia Britannica Kids apps: Ancient Egypt, Dinosaurs, Volcanoes, and The Solar System.
