iPhone Giveaway of the Day - Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED APPS FOR iPAD. 5 STAR AVERAGE RATING ON THE US APP STORE! - "BEST NEW APPS / EDITOR'S PICK" - Narrated by rock icon Alice Cooper, "sumptuously animated" by Giants Are Small (The Guardian). Through this interactive adventure, join Peter in his quest to catch the wolf in this fresh reimagining of Prokofiev’s classic work for children.

Prokofiev’s tale, set in modern-day Los Angeles, begins with the wolf’s escape from the local zoo. To capture the wolf, Peter has to build a robot, maneuver his way through a thrilling helicopter chase, and manage some hilarious interactions with a few quirky animals.

BUILD A ROBOT: Help Peter build a robot using an electro-magnet and crates of spare parts.
