Peek-a-Zoo by Duck Duck Moose

What it is: interactive play with 18+1 animals.

What you do with it: tap the dancing and walking animals and they will introduce themselves (e.g. 'Hi!, I'm Wally the Walrus', 'I'm Grayson the Giraffe').

Identify an animal ('Who is Charlie the Chicken') or point to the animal with a certain feature or performing a certain action (e.g. 'Who is cross-eyed', 'Who is trying to hide').

What we liked: the concept, simple kid-friendly illustrations, easy operation, fun factor, sounds and sound backgrounds, spoken instructions, overall 'look and feel' of the app.

What we didn't like: prominent link to a page with other apps by the publisher visible on the play screen. May quickly get boring (especially for older kids). No 'back' button in the 'point to the animal' activity.
