App Review: Trucks and Things That Go
Ask your little monster his interests and for sure playing with cars, planes, or any other moving objects will be a part of his I-want-this-and-that list. Kids, in general, adore big things for some reasons which we don’t totally understand. They are greatly attracted to those vehicles they see on land, water, air, or even in television shows and books. We, on the other hand, enjoy seeing them looking amazed and ecstatic every time they see a car, ship, train, airplane, or any other modes of transportation. With this idea, why don’t we let our little darlings have a closer look and know more things about these “big toys”. Impossible? Too dangerous? Well, not with this app called .
