Appy Kids believe that storytime should be fun yet educational - and that is exactly what we give you with our free, interactive storybook app for children, Alfie and Haathi Discover the Ocean

Alfie and Haathi are building sandcastles on the beach when the magic bioscope whisks them off to their next adventure. Like Appy Oceans our Hindi English language app, the magic bioscope takes them back to the depths of the ocean, this time in search of a birthday party. On their way to the party, Alfie and Haathi meet the Seahorse, Shark, Clownfish and many more underwater friends who help them count from 1 to 10.

In this educational app, your kids will love interacting with the colorful ocean creatures, fun music and sounds and, of course, the dynamic duo of Alfie and Haathi. The Alfie and Haathi Discover the Ocean app has 16 wondrous scenes full of rich color and animation that is second to none.

Every single scene is interactive, and by ‘interactive’ we mean there are many different ways to keep your children engaged with the app. To make sure you catch all the interactions, just click on the Question Mark that appears in the top right hand corner. You can read Alfie and Haathi Discover the Oceans to your children or, if you’re looking to take a break from reading, click on the ‘Read to Me’ icon and let your little ones listen to the story being read back to them!

Ocean Factoids
If you haven’t noticed it already, there is a bubble with a question mark that appears in every ocean scene accompanying each ocean creature. When you click on the floating question mark, you’re introduced to interesting facts about the different ocean creatures in the app. For example, did you know that the Octopus squirts black ink when it’s scared or to frighten away predators?

New In App Game - Sandy Shapes
Make sure you check out ‘Sandy Shapes’, a fun shape-matching game featuring our adorable Appy Ocean characters.
