Gerald has built a new zoo and wants
your help collecting some unique, marvelous and strange animals from around the
world, for his new zoo.
You board the "McGrew Zoo Choo Choo Train" that takes you to 8
different possible destinations where you find such fine finds as a Barbaloot,
the song writing Zinn-a-Zu bird, and Star-bellied Sneetches, to mention a few.
You are presented with a wide range of activities in each area which when
successfully completed, will allow you to collect one of these fine creatures.
When you go to the Lorax's Forest, you help some Babaloots by putting the
correct number of furballs in their wheelbarrows. When you have the right number
in the first two wheelbarrows, you then pick the right number to answer the
addition question. (see middle right). And for your efforts you get to collect
some fine Barballots for the zoo.
At the "Shapes-On Machine (see bottom right) you are called upon to help
Sylvester McMonkey McBean complete a pattern involving shapes and colours to
create a proper sequence. For your efforts, you can take to your zoo some
excellent Star Bellied Sneeches. (This is a lot more fun than collecting stars).
Of course, when you have collected all the animals, you are rewarded with seeing
the grand opening of young Gerald Mcgrew's new zoo.
The program has lots of
hidden clickables and a variety of play activities such as the Musical Band
where you can click on individual band members to hear a tune or play with the
Clock Sculpture to learn about time.
