Summary: 5-1/2 Stars for Putt Putt
Review: I'd like to rate this higher than a 5! In this game, you have to search around the zoo for 6 baby animals that have wandered out of their respective pens/habitats. So you also have to click on things to collect and play games along the way that will help you in your search. My son is 2-1/2 and the guidance says Ages 3-8 for this game, but I really enjoy playing it with him and teaching him to have fun "figuring things out". Although, I also enjoy watching him sit here at this computer (very recently) in his booster chair so he can reach the mouse comfortably and do all the moves and clicking and rescuing all by himself. Pausing at the parts he really enjoys (like eating cotton candy at the vending cart just inside the zoo entrance). Great Game - and also I highly recommend Putt Putt Travels Through Time. Enjoy your kids!!!

Summary: Terrific
Review: I've played this great game many times with my four year-old, and we both love it! It's loads of fun, with some really good humor, and offers plenty of variety to hold her interest. Rescuing the lost baby animals spread throughout the park presents some definite challenges, and she was thrilled the first time she succeeded in getting them all home to their parents. I would recommend this to anyone looking to give their kids a friendly and thought provoking introduction to the computer. It will make your child smile while learning, which is high praise in my book. Congrats to Humongous Entertainment - this game is a winner!
There's one thing I don't get, maybe someone here can clue me in. How does one use the camera to take a picture of the animals? During the game, Putt Putt says to save the film for when the zoo's going to open, but the one time my daughter rescued every animal, the game ended without her getting a chance to use it, which was a disappointment, and detracted from her excitement at finishing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great fun for little game players
Review: If your child has played beginning software like JumpStart and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help their friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play games as they complete the larger tasks.

In Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, the overarching goal is to reuntie baby animals with their parents so that the zoo can open, but along the way he will perform a variety of smaller tasks. I would say that the best titles in this series are Putt-Putt Enters the Race and Putt-Putt Joins the Circus, but this one is very good too.

This is a fine game in a great series.

Summary: My daughter loved it!
Review: In this game Putt-Putt has to reunite the baby animals with their parents in the new Car Town zoo. It helps develop problem solving skills. It is also entertaining. I enjoyed playing it with my daughter. If fact, she had played alot of it on her own so she showed me how to play it. A children's game is well written when a 5 year old can start it, play it and then expain it to an adult without a problem. Hats off to Humongous Entertainment.

Summary: The Best!
Review: My boys never tire of this one. The characters are cute and have personality galore. They teach kindness and caring. The solutions emphasize sequencing and many other important lessons. There are plenty of engaging diversions, some educational, some funny, some just fun.

...this one is still a no-brainer.

Summary: Great CD Rom Game!
Review: My daughter is 4 years old and let me tell you - she cannot get enough of this game. I play along with her and we both just love it. It is very educational and promotes much cognitive thinking. A must have!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good game to own
Review: my daughter is 5 and she loves this game. It requires thinking and also has fun games. The first time I had to help her getting all the tools and babies, now she only wants to play on her own. The best part is that it is a short game, can be completed in less than an hour!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Game!!!!!!!!!!
Review: My four year old daughter loves it! She played it over and over again. She still goes back to it now and then. You learn about animals, the puzzles are chalanging but fun, and there is a guest spot from other Humongus characters. Learning can be fun. Go ahead and buy it. You and your kids will won't regret it.
