While smartphones are the trademark of busy corporate executives who always talk on their phone while walking on the street and fumble with it when having lunch, the kids of today aren’t to be left out on the entire smartphone revolution.

The app allows kids to learn about animals, and even pets them. Another good thing about this app, you can let your kid interact with pets without actually getting one.
