Cuddle Puzzle - Learn Shapes, Numbers, Music and More, ($1.99 on iPad, iPhone (942 MB) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cuddle-puzzle-learn-shapes/id680512702?mt=8), for ages 3-up.  Why we like it: Great for a young preschooler, this app contains eight jigsaw puzzles arranged by difficulty. Unlike traditional drag and drop puzzles, these start easy, showing a child just three or four parts. Once those are solved, another set of pieces is revealed; a technique that is excellent at pulling children into the process. Other nice touches include a concert at the end of each puzzle, and an audio "click" that guides children toward the right spot.  The eight puzzles cover a variety of themes, including frogs, ocean creatures, baby turtles, polar bears, sheep, a circus elephant and an animal band on the beach. 
Need to know: Don't be fooled by the title -- that overreaches on the learning objectives. This app is good for informal exploration of shape and music concepts, and it a good co-op play experience (although it is not multi-touch). This is a rather large app (942 MB) that is well worth the cost and room.
