The Letter Monster for Android
Arrrgh! The Letter Monster is hungry at sea, and he needs you to feed him the right letters! He might not have the best manners, but when you feed this picky eater the right sea biscuits, he gets very happy! This game helps children practice letters outside of the ordered context of the alphabet, and it also serves as an introduction to the differences between lowercase and capital letters.
--Fun and accessible for kids ages 3 and up--
GREAT CHARACTERS
Kids can play on their own by following the sea captain’s verbal instructions. His voice is gruff and his appetite is big, but his bark is worse than his bite!
EASY TO PLAY
With its click-and-drag interface, this game is simple to play so kids can focus on learning. Verbal cues from the monster teach the correlation between sound and letter, and visual cues are also available as a game setting option.
COLORFUL, FUN ANIMATIONS
The graphics of this game are friendly and creative. The squiggly green sea captain reacts to player’s answers with lively comments and expressions. The setting is eye-catching and transporting. Out at sea, the water is bright and the Letter Monster’s ship is flying a slew of colorful flags.
A GREAT WAY TO LEARN
Kids will learn the letters of the alphabet, with the option to incorporate lowercase and capitalized letters. You can also decide if you only want to practice vowels or consonants or both. For younger beginners, visual cues are optional in the game settings to assist with learning, and they’ll appear on the captain’s nautical hat. This game is available in four languages: English, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.
--Take ‘er out to sea, and learn the ABC’s!--

This is a pretty straightforward app with no frills. Graphics are cute. I think it's common to initially start teaching kids just uppercase letters so I would like to see options to just do big/small. The monster can also be a little mumbly to little ears but overall a good app.
