Junior World Explorer - Jungle Friends

• Platform:    Windows, Macintosh
• Media: CD-ROM
• Item Quantity: 1

Children can choose to play with 12 different animals or plants. Children are given a factual piece of information and then given a game to play, such as spotting the differences in two pictures or helping to feed the sloth by moving the bamboo canes. Children can then hear a song about their chosen animal or opt to read the text. Lastly, children are given a language-based activity that helps to consolidate the information they've learnt from the song, such as filling in the missing words in a text or deciding whether statements are true or false.

This CD-ROM helps children to learn about jungle animals in an enjoyable and interesting way and would be a very good introduction to reading and comprehension. Jungle Friends would be an excellent purchase for children aged between five and seven years. They will love learning about the different animals and plants and playing the games. --Amanda York
