The Kratt Brothers have a fantastic teaching friend in Zoboo! This product lives up to it's billing and the other reviewers . My son and I share an old MAC G3 and the graphics via Quick Time are gorgeous! The games are at perfectly matched to the attention span of their target audience - 3 - 6+. We found this deeply discounted...My 5 year old and I are very impressed. No crashing problems to report. EXCELLENT

This review is from: Zoboomafoo Creature Quest (CD-ROM)

Zoboomafoo is an educational Windows/Macintosh CD-ROM computer software for children ages 3 through 6, featuring Zoboo and his animal friends from the Emmy award-winning children's television series Animal Junction. Mind-testing puzzles and colorful presentations teach young people about a wide variety of creatures and their habitats. Zoboomafoo also educates young users about number recognition, counting, early phonics, logical reasoning, and more. A creature fact book is included in this enjoyable, instructive, and highly recommended software for both homeschool, preschool, kindergarten, and daycare center collections and curriculum supplementation.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun, entertaining and age-appropriate software, January 11, 2004

This review is from: Zoboomafoo Creature Quest (CD-ROM)

Little Zoboo fans rejoice! This entertaining software is stable, charming and fun. Multiple cut scenes feature the Kratt Brothers and Zoboomafoo's friends in Zoboo-Land, as kids click on objects scattered around Animal Junction. With two exceptions the eight activities are age-appropriate and well-implemented, with three skill levels in coloring, mazes, matching, object identification, counting, bubble popping and pattern match; the latter two games are unnecessarily difficult and confusing, but kids can get through them by clicking away randomly. Also included is a virtual tape recorder with mini-films and factoids about a number of animals. Well done.

We're running the game on an iMac and have had no problems with installation or crashes.

Note: Creature Quest is much better than Zoboomafoo Animal Alphabet; if you have a little Zoboo fan in the house, I'd recommend you purchase this title rather than Animal Alphabet.
