This place is a zoo – iPad app

Posted on February 22, 2011

We were recently offered the chance to review an iPad app called This Place is a Zoo. Edward is drawn to all our electronic gadgets and is particularly attracted to my iPhone and iPad so we were very happy to try it out. The app features Captain Wallace and you join him on a guided visit through the Alphabet Zoo.

This Place is a Zoo has been designed to help children learn their alphabet and animals through sights and sounds designed to spark dialogue between parent and child. Edward is only 11 months but is drawn to moving pictures and sounds so this app keeps him entertained.

The app is populated with animations of animals and letters which my little one loves. The design is beautiful and the sounds are just right for my son. Books with similar animal sounds have made him cry but I was pleased that this app makes him giggle. The app is simple to use and I know Edward will be able to enjoy it for years. A great and fun way to help your little one learn the alphabet!
