 PBS KIDS Video is a fabulous free app that allows kids to watch video clips from PBS favorites like Curious George and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and dozens more. But what makes this app great is that it is child centered so that even very young children can navigate from clip to clip on their own. The play button and arrow buttons are large and very visible in the bottom center and children can browse clips based character icons. There is also a "parent resources" section that can only be accessed by sliding the I-bar to the right, making it very difficult for a child to accidentally make unwanted purchases. PBS Kids Video is a video player and there are not any interactive games or activities included in this app but it is a safer and more child friendly alternative to YouTube.  Reviewed by: Alia
