As Hungry as a Wolf

As Hungry as a Wolf
Reviewed on 4/15/19

In this app, based on an Italian picture book, a group of animal friends tries to have a picnic, but keeps getting interrupted by a hungry wolf! Help them escape from the wolf by drawing a line through a maze to get them to a new picnic spot to try out! There are multiple paths and multiple solutions, so there's some variety in the game play, but the results (the wolf always finds them!) are satisfyingly predictable.  Fear not!  This simple story DOES eventually come to a (happy) end and then you can play it again and try different paths! This app is great for preschool users who enjoy simple mazes or who need some fine motor pointer-finger practice.  Adorable illustrations keep this app from being scary, but younger users might still appreciate an adult companion to play through it the first few times at least -- that's how apps are best anyway!
