Curious George: Zoo Animals

What it is: one interactive safari scene featuring 5 animals and one minigame.

What you do with it: learn about caring for the animals (wake them up, clean, feed them etc). Watch videos with the animals in their natural surroundings. Play a simple game (use a water hose to clean the animals traveling on a conveyor belt).

What we liked: the concept, high quality illustrations, animations and videos, easy navigation and operation, professional narration with instructions and guidance, the rewards system with stickers, background music and sound effects, good educational value.

What we didn't like: just 5 animals with the initial purchase.

In-app purchases note: the app has prominent 'tap to purchase' buttons as sections of the main menu easily available to a child (that is the main reason for the relatively low score). Each additional scene (Deep Freeze and Old MacDonald's Farm) costs $0.99.
