"Oscar Goes to the Zoo is a fun story for children to either be read to or to listen to aloud. The app seems to aim for in-text inference and comprehension. This approach helps children understand story elements immediately as opposed to asking comprehension questions after the story is completed. The story line had a nice message (be who you are) and the characters were age appropriate."-- Academics' Choice Reviewer

ABOUT THE STORY
When Oscar the adorable dachshund puppy wakes up one morning and can’t find any of his friends, his journey takes him to the Central Zoo. At the Zoo, Oscar imagines what it might be like to be something other than plain old Oscar the dachshund. In the end, Oscar discovers he’d rather not be an elephant with a long trunk, a giraffe with a tall neck, or a seal with short flippers … and decides there’s nobody he’d rather be than himself.
