Better than a fidget spinner
Aug 19, 2018 By GalfromdownunderYou can even “spin” some of the animals! On the iPhone you can unfortunately activate the notifications dock while swiping down or up, which abruptly returns you to the stress of your life momentarily, but it’s not s dealbreaker - the margin is calibrated wide enough for that to be an occasional fluff. Christof, how about a big/kid quasi-CHOMP version where you can upload images of say, to replace the animal face, and then you get to duke it out with them? 😉 more -
Nov 7, 2018 By Kat SimsI & my nanakids LOVE this game!!! But for the last couple of months it keeps closing, it says, but in actuality, it never opens! I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling it, even after making more room on my cell phone. Since it takes up so much space, and doesn't work, I'm uninstalling it to make room for things that do work, and to increase processing speeds on my cell phone. Hopefully, there will be improvements to this game in the future. My nanakids got such a kick out of the silly things they could make the animals do! more -
Petting Zoo Review
Aug 2, 2018 By RaeklusseI think it is a very whimsical and cute program, and I know it took a lot of time and programming, BUT I think it could be a little longer. Being not so very long I do not feel the need to return anytime soon. But I think it was delightful and I would like to spend more time with it. I am an adult and my attention span is perhaps longer YET kids also, once they know it, do they return to it? I would be interested to know. Congratulations on the interactivity. Very sweet. Great designs. Very intuitive. Bravo! Maryl Simpson more -
May 23, 2020 By Paula BrowWow! This game is better than i expected! My friend showed it to me and i got it not expecting me to be able to play it for hours and not get board. You should really get the game. The art is great too! 👏👍 -
So much fun
Dec 19, 2019 By RebecculousI bought this for my grand daughter when she was around two and a half. It’s two years later and we still play it whenever I visit, and even still find surprises! Fantastic interactive animations let the kids produce silly actions and each page or creature has its own tricks and surprises. Six stars for staying power! more -
Sep 12, 2018 By Volha FursI absolutely love it! One of the coolest things I have ever bought on google play. The number of illustrations is huge and the animation is top notch! -
Petting Zoo
Dec 17, 2019 By Riley0105I got this for the kids and had to play through it myself. Some of the responses to various moves had me laughing with surprise. Good one! I have taken my iPad on many international mission trips and the children all love this game. It takes no teaching, once they learn the power of touching the screen, they are captivated. Language is not a factor in this game. more -
May 24, 2019 By Lamontica CrippenPurchased it today and it keeps crashing. It will not open at all. Update - finally able to open the game. Love it! -
Captivating
Jun 26, 2017 By GheegaI just purchased this for my two year old granddaughter who has just come for a two week visit. So far she has been intrigued by the interactive books I have from saved over the years from the other GK. I was captivated by this one!! She is going to think this one is so much fun! Can't wait! more -
Sep 26, 2018 By DrewBrilliant. The best app for young kids I've ever found, and not bad for adults to enjoy as well.

Boring
Dec 6, 2017 By Mimi yvieBought this app for my 3 year old. It was boring . I never buy apps but read this one was good! Do not waste your Money!! Boring, but the animals are cute but all you do is move your finger and they stretch back and forth . What's so fun about that. I paid for it and will probably never play it again. My 3 year old played with it for 1 minute and wanted to go paint her fingernails instead!! more

So creative
Mar 29, 2020 By Baa Baa BooeyMy grandchildren absolutely love this app! I also must admit I like it too! My 8 yr old grandson loved it as a tiny boy, and I just downloaded it again for my 2 yr old grandson. Now the 8 yr old wants to play it again. This is so much better than most of the animal apps that are new. This is just SO clever! Thank you! more

What’s Groovy
Love, Love, LOVE this app!!! My boys, who are 11 & 12 years old now, both remember it from when they were in preschool, and we're having so much fun playing through it again right now with their baby sister who is 14 months old. She's not quite as smitten with it as Momma and her Bubbas are, but she'll come around!
