## What is What does the cow say?

What does the cow say? Toddlers ask all day long. Now they can find out — and so can the parrot, the narwhal, and even the unicorn.

What Does the Cow Say is a digital animal-sound wheel for kids ages 2 to 5. Spin a colorful wheel of 42 cartoon animals, hear what each one really sounds like, and collect every sticker as you go.

FEATURES

• 42 ANIMALS, A TO Z
Farm, Pets, Ocean, Jungle, and a Wild pack covering every letter of the alphabet. Cow, dog, octopus, kangaroo, x-ray fish, zebra — they're all here.

• REAL ANIMAL SOUNDS
Authentic recordings, not cartoony beeps. Hear an actual lion roar, an actual elephant trumpet, an actual dolphin click.

• KARAOKE NARRATION
"This is the sound a COW makes" with each word highlighted in time. A gentle first step toward letter recognition and early reading.

• RECORD YOUR OWN
For animals whose real sound is silent or strange — jellyfish, unicorn, ant, octopus — record your own. Whatever you make up becomes that animal's voice forever.

• STICKER BOOK
Every animal heard goes into a sticker album. Tap a sticker to replay its sound. Locked stickers wiggle to encourage another spin.

• PRESS-AND-HOLD SPIN
The wheel charges as you hold the big red SPIN button. Quick tap = small spin, long hold = an epic wheel-of-fortune ride.

• MADE FOR TINY HANDS
Big buttons. Forgiving gestures. Landscape only — set the iPad down and let your kid drive.

No ads. No in-app purchases. No paywalled animals. No login. No analytics. No internet required. Audio recordings never leave the device.
