                             Kid's Zoo
                        by Louis Turbeville

	This is a program that every kid is sure to love.  Kid's Zoo is
designed to entertain and educate children about wildlife.  How this
differs from most other animal education programs is that it does
not cover facts about adult animals, but rather their offspring.
Most children will be thrilled to learn about "kid" animals because
they can relate to them.  It also helps that the voices that narrate
you through the many options are kid voices.

	The first thing that will grab your child's attention are the
film clips of baby animals.  Once they have seen all of the video
clips and are ready to explore the rest of the program, they will be
educated for hours.  By going to the different sections of the
program, your child will learn the names of different wildlife
offspring, what sounds they make and what they do.  A nice touch for
displaying text is through the use of "thought windows." This seems
much more appealing to youngsters than the use of a dialog box at
the bottom of the screen.

	Here are a couple of words of caution if you intend to purchase
this program.  This program can eat up a lot of hard disk space,
regardless of whether you get the CD-ROM or the diskette version.
When I installed the CD-ROM version, I chose the minimum
installation option and it still took up 1.6 MB of space; full
installation is around 8MB.  The installation program will also let
you setup the program in Windows.  However, since this program is
designed to run in DOS you may get warning messages about not enough
conventional memory available to play all of the audio.  I got this
warning message each time I loaded the program through Windows, but
I could still get most of the sound effects correctly.  However, the
safest bet would be to just run it from DOS and skip the Windows
setup step during installation.

	Kid's Zoo is my three year old son's favorite computer program.
Before we got this program, my son loved San Diego Zoo's Animals
program but now he hardly asks to use it.  If my son's enchantment
is an indication, then your kids will be sure to love this program
as well.  Its a real winner.
