Four Unique Habitats
Curious George at the Zoo includes four unique habitats: Sunny Safari, Deep Freeze, The Outback, and Old MacDonald’s Farm. While exploring these habitats, children will meet animals from different parts of the world. Sunny Safari is the first habitat your child will discover upon launching the app. The remaining three habitats will be available by summer 2012. Each habitat features fun interactive elements, like adjustable weather. Tap a cloud, and it will start to rain. Drag that cloud over the sun, and it will create a rainbow.

Interact with AnimalsTogether, your child and Curious George will visit the animals of the zoo by entering their individual enclosures. Once you enter an animal's enclosure, you can perform the following tasks:
- Wake up the animals by patting, rocking, or talking to them.
- Clean the animals by rubbing suds on them, dragging a watering can over them to rinse them, and stroking them with a brush.
- Feed the animals by selecting one of four food options, and—through a process of trial and error—identifying the appropriate diet for each animal. Your child even has the opportunity to predict what will happen after choosing any of the four food options.
- Collect fun stickers for completing tasks, and use them to create pictures in the app's sticker album.
Along with teaching your child how to care for animals, these tasks will help him or her develop critical early learning skills. For example, cleaning the animals will improve hand-eye coordination, and selecting the animals' food will improve reasoning skills.

Educational Videos
While in the app, your child can watch live-action videos of each of the zoo animals in its natural habitat, narrated by the Man in the Yellow Hat. Through these videos, your child will gain a broad understanding of the characteristics of the different animals in the zoo. For example, your child will learn that elephants use their trunks to pick up grass and water, and that giraffes live in groups called herds.

In-App Learning-Games
Each of the habitats in Curious George at the Zoo contains an engaging learning game. The games are designed to develop and extend your child’s learning across a number of core areas including memory skills, sorting ability, comprehension, and reasoning skills. For example, in Sunny Safari, your child will be asked questions like: Which animal is the tallest in a group? Which animal in a specific a group of animals eats meat? Your child will collect stickers upon completing each game, which he or she can add to the in-app sticker album.
