Brandon likes new apps and is always excited to try different ones. This one was a little different than the others we have. It is more like a short story or a sentence about the object that starts with the letter. Brandon is an expert at the touch screen now.. haha. The alphabet characters are pretty cute. I love how each letter has their own name that begins with their own letter. Brandon repeats and says aloud to me the sentence and I think he's learned pretty quick. Both of us wish that there were some animations in the little stories associated with the alphabet letters.
