•What Time Is It, Becca Bunny?—early, morning, afternoon, dinnertime, and more
•How Many, Becca Bunny?—how many, a lot, some, all, and numbers 1 through five
•How Does Becca Bunny Feel?—happy, scared, excited, mad, and more
•Where Are They Hiding, Becca Bunny?—under, beside, inside, behind, and more

Once you start the app, tap on one of the five stories. Back, forward, and repeat arrows provide easy screen navigation. Children choose the correct answer with an easy one-tap response.
