Quality
Peppy background music greets kids as they enter Tobby’s Animal World where they’re invited to begin the story or explore the animals and levels. The cute and colorful graphics kids encounter, as well as the cute animated animals will appeal to kids, but some of the short stories and descriptions of animals may get a bit lost within the busyness of the rest of the app.
Education
As kids help Tobby find his family, they enter multiple habitats and learn about the animals they contain. After finding each animal, kids hear a description of the animal and how it interacts with its habitat. While a bit lengthy for young kids, these descriptions provide quite a bit of information and help kids learn more than just the basic animal facts.
Entertainment
While kids will enjoy helping Tobby, a little owl, find his family, what they’ll enjoy more is finding the animals in the game of hide-and-seek that they find in each habitat. The hidden animals don’t provide much a challenge, but it’s enough of a thrill to keep kids entertained and moving from habitat to habitat.
Value
With 25 different animals, kids will learn a wealth of facts and begin to place those animals within habits. The large amounts of information alone make it a good purchase, particularly for kids who love animals.
Child Friendliness
Parents will feel comfortable letting kids explore the different animal habitats because they know they’ll be safe doing it. A link to the developer’s Facebook page hides behind a parental block. All of the other activities and options pertain directly to kids and have been designed to delight them.
