Five Little Monkeys: Are going to follow me to my grave!

I am not particularly sophisticated when it comes to how I pick applications for Wormie and me to tes t. Five Little Monkeys belongs in the bucket of Apps i call "Songs Wormies Loves." It's above the "Apps i think will make Wormie smarter," bucket and below the "Cute Disney Like Apps."

Like the category says Wormie loves the Five Little Monkeys song. We sign it over and over and over. I don't mind the repetition, my wife however...well it drives her crazy. So, I'm thinking maybe i get the app and Wormie sings it to herself with the headphones on. Genius right? I know..i know, I'm a genius.

The app turned out to be a winner a "time waster" tool. The premise is easy... you pick the background music (Rock, Pop, and Country.) This was the only piece that Wormie had trouble with since the action wasn't completely obvious. On that note the music selections sound like the categories in a Gorbechev era Soviet Uniion music store. Who buys a "Rock" album...its all about Classic rock! Zepplin, AC/DC, and Wormies favorite...QUEEN!

Once you are in the game its a chinch. There are a few easter eggs you can click on and get an action like a ball, a baloon, etc and they are easy to spot. You touch a monkey, he falls off the bed, he breaks his head etc etc. The doctor pops up and says... you got it.. "NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE BED." Then you go back and there are four little monkeys on the bed. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and done! Wormie got the action required straight out of the gate and even though its a little boring from a parents POV it seemed to be a winner.

Frankly, the art is mediocre, the music is best described as "elevator like" but the package works well and can keep the girl occupied for a little stretch of time in a moment of high need.
