*2017-01-19*

Very nice game, my 2yr old daughter enjoys all level, and this app contains variety of games, the abc 's one is excellent, as name play and discover..!

### 1/5 — dommage....

*2016-11-19*

Très intéressant sur le principe sauf que ça bugue tout le temps en se fermant et qu'il faut être hyper précis pour que les pièces du puzzle "accrochent" et se posent, donc pas du tout adapté à de jeunes enfants, à qui le jeu est pourtant destiné!

### 5/5 — Perk slp

*2014-03-07*

Great app for different concepts.  Fun..entertaining..and several way to incorporate language.

### 5/5 — One of our favorite!

*2013-11-15*

I was searching for a great app for my recently turned two year old and this was a perfect fit.  It is both simple enough he can be independent when interacting with it and also challenging enough to keep him from being bored!! We own all the build apps from croco studios and love them all!  All apps were a great transition from the " baby" apps! Always checking back for more apps!
