Obviously, some other type of entertainment or game has replaced the Animal Lotto game I had as a child.
Four basic wild animals? Ummm. Paris, Lindsey, Amy and...er, Paris?
Struggling to tell a frog from a toad is kind of understandable. But these kids, aside from not having been to a zoo, were obviously not brought up on picture books, or even wildlife TV. My kids knew all kinds of animals before they went to school. Very sad.
