Baby Panda\u2019s New Home<\/a>\u00a0is brilliant! A little silly, yes, but also brilliant. I am an animal lover and defender through and through. I get it from my father who takes short rests from counting his money, working too much, yelling at people on the phone, and giving me a hard time, to spoil and smother his two Tibetan Terriers with love. Then he\u2019ll continue to give me a hard time and tell me how I\u2019m doing everything wrong before he watches Christian the Lion<\/a> and cries. Please note, I\u2019ve only ever seen\u00a0him cry three times. One tear was shed at his father’s funeral, millions of tears were shed at the death of our first dog, and then an above average amount of tears were shed at the conclusion of Christian the Lion.<\/p>\n

So adorable... can't... resist...d'awwwww.<\/p><\/div>\n

Were my dad to have a smart phone, Baby Panda\u2019s New Home<\/em> would be his first and number one app. The opportunity to learn about the life of Zhen Zhen<\/a> the baby panda through photos, videos, and an e-book would keep him glued to his phone for way too long. The app tells you the story of Zhen Zhen\u2019s birth and life in the San Diego Zoo and then her trip back to China to be released into the wild. I can\u2019t think of a happier story. I\u2019m not sure Zhen Zhen will give us updates from the wild, but having the opportunity to read about her life up until that point and then get occasional updates about how she\u2019s doing is enough to compel any animal lover to pay $3.99 for the download. It\u2019s also great for kids. iTunes describes the app as a children\u2019s book, but as my father can attest, this interactive e-book is good for adults too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
