When I saw the press release of this app, I immediately requested to review it as my 3 years old boy is a fan of all things dinosaur and bones and skeletons at the moment.

Description from the product page:
"Perfect for the dinosaur-lover in your family! A young girl finds a dinosaur bone and imagines what its life – and the fossilization process – must have been like. Lyrical rhymes and gorgeous watercolor illustrations combine in this fun educational story. Encourage your child's curious mind with this storybook app; learn about the Mesozoic Era and create your own imaginative tales of what the dinosaur's life may have been like. "
What's good?
* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!
* I was not a fan of watercolored illustrations before this but I think my perception has changed after trying out this app. The drawings on each page is simply breathtakingly beautiful!
* I used the opportunity in this app to teach my 3 years old boy how each bones from the dinosaur came with a story, how a mother dinosaur cared for its babies too!
