From the Manufacturer
Go on a safari, monkey around in the jungle, or go to work on the farm--Giggles Computer Funtime for Baby: My Animal Friends is fun-filled learning software for babies 6 to 24 months. Here's how it works: babies press or tap any key and delightful things happen on screen!

Fun and Bonding

Babies love touching the computer keyboard--now you can let them! Each curious key press entertains your baby with delightful animations and cute loveable animated characters. There are 14 adorable key-tapping activities for you and baby to explore! The top 10 main activities include:

• My Animal Friends: Large centered image of each animal that changes on key tap. Similar to "Big Shapes" from the Shapes title. Mouse click makes flopsy blow bubbles.
• Little Quackers: Key taps make the ducks quack and flap their wings as they swim along. Mouse click makes turtle go in and out of his shell.
• Nite Lites: Adorable fireflies light up with each key tap. Mouse click turns lantern lights on and off.
• Fishy Fun: Key taps make swimming fishies blow bubbles and the puffer fish puff up. Mouse clicks make cute crabs on the bottom scamper along.
• Groundhog Day: Key taps make silly groundhogs pop up out of their holes. Mouse clicks make flower petals fly off flowers.
• Flopsy's Pet Shop: Key taps wake up one of the animals in the shop window and make them jump into the air. Mouse clicks make mice run across the bottom of the screen.
• Raining Cats and Dogs: Key taps make actual cats and dogs drop out of the clouds at the top of the screen--adorable! Mouse clicks make real rain fall out of the clouds--cool!
• Bunny Boom: Key taps makes cute bunnies duplicate all over the screen. Mouse movement of the magic wand over a bunny makes it disappear with a "poof".
• Monkey Mania: Key taps make monkeys "ooh-ahhh-ahhh" and throw a banana. Mouse clicks make bananas fall from the bunches at the top of the screen.
• Penguin Playground: Key taps make penguins slide down ice slides, jump and flip, or fly into the air. Mouse clicks make little fishies jump out of the water below.

There are four additional bonus activities, making a total of 14 activities in My Animal Friends. The first three bonus activities are our new Scroller Activities. Scroll along left to right as if you were taking a walk through our fun-filled zoo, hilarious farm, and wild safari. You know how to do it--just tap the keys! See the tiger dance, the pandas enjoying ice cream cones, the seals playing with a ball, and much more. You can even take snapshots of the action by clicking the mouse button. As in our first title, Shapes, the fourth bonus activity in this title is a music video and it's all about animals. You and baby can tap the keys or click the mouse along with.

Sound and Music

Includes more than 60 songs in five baby-fun categories including: My First Classical, New Orleans Baby, Around the World, Fun Baby Fun, and Nursery Favorites. Giggles Computer Funtime For Baby is also filled with fun sound effects, animal sounds, and adorable animal character voices.

Learning Through Play

Babies are comfortably introduced to the computer and learn cause-and-effect relationships. We encourage you to further tailor your baby’s learning experience by discussing the animals and scenes as they appear on-screen. Make up stories and have fun! Babies learn best when they’re having fun! Our unique mousing system also lets them explore moving the mouse as they progress. Engage and enrich your baby through fun-filled learning--at your own pace.

My Animal Friends is widescreen compatible on Macs and always comes as a two-CD set with bonus screensaver version for both PC and Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Software has all the 5 Stars and More!, August 9, 2006

By	Erol Esen (Webster, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter is little over three years old and I had bought this software about a year ago directly from the founder of Giggles, since he lives in the Rochester, NY area. At first I was worried that the software is for babies and my toddler may not be interested. Not so! She loves the program even more now. Her knowledge of shapes and use of computers impresses even her teachers at the day-care.

I know for a fact that much research and hard-work had gone into the development of this software and it shows mightily; especially when compared to other products of similar genre.

I can't wait for the new products Giggles Software is developing.

5.0 out of 5 stars My baby boy loves Giggles!, November 15, 2006

By	Jeremy A. Langston "bigj164019" (Benton, Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased both Giggles Shapes and Giggles Animals for my 5 month old boy after I noticed I could not get on my home computer or my laptop with him wanting to hit the keys.
This program is very entertaining and teaches babies cause and effect, and has a good music selection that my baby likes.
I would highly recommend this program to any parent that has a child from 3 months to 2yrs.
My 9 year old boy even enjoys playing with these programs!

By	mom "mom" (Riverside, ca) - See all my reviews

I have bought so many baby/toddler games and none seem to work on my new imac. These are great and my 21 month old can do it herself. She loves it. I wish I cold find more like this.
