Today's Good Free App of the Day comes from your favorite Facebook code elf, Lisa:
'"Tot has had a bear called Boo since she was a baby. So it makes sense that she loves this app. The little girl in this app does everything with her bear until the unthinkable happens - Bear is lost. Thankfully for Tot and for me, this app does have a happy ending..."
Not Without Bear also received 4.25 stars from our friend Carisa at Digital Storytime.
** Please note ** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **

Ride the wild ponies! Trip around the world! Find the lost children! Audrey loves to play her favorite games and never without her best friend, Bear. But when bedtime comes Bear is nowhere to be found! Where can he be? In this interactive story young readers help Audrey ride on Mama's bike, giddy-up on Daddy's back, find the toys she's hidden in the bushes, and search the house for the missing Bear, before being tucked in for the night.
Toy baskets spill, pillows move, quilts lift, cupboards open, revealing more adventures. Silly sound effects, bouncing and movable objects, and a kitty hiding on every page add to the fun of this ten-page story book. Musical tunes can be turned off or replayed and children can listen to the story or choose "read it myself", touching individual words to hear them aloud if they need help.
Features:
An engaging story.
Lively interactions on every page.
Fun sound effects.
Musical tunes can be on or off.
Read it to me or read it myself.
Touch to hear individual words.
