A strange creature lurks behind the curtain – but is it what it seems to be? Can you guess what is making up the shape?

Mini-U: ZOO Abracadabra is the new app from the makers of excellent alphabet app Mini-U ZOO (covered previously on Apps Playground here), and the aim of the game is to identify the animals behind the curtain, which then falls away to reveal the truth.

There are three different levels in the game, featuring either three, four or five animals per shadow, and a total of 160 animal combinations to explore.

With amusing and colourful illustrations, the app has been carefully designed with small children in mind - there are no time limits to the play, making it fun for younger children. We think kids from toddlers up to around the age of seven years will enjoy the game.

Mini-U: ZOO Abracadabra is for iPad only, and is available at the App Store priced at £1.49.
