It is games like these that have convinced me to let Santa bring Jake a Nintendo DS for Christmas. Creative, fun for the whole family and offering an educational aspect, in the case of the DS game, taking care of a circus elephant and making sure it is trained and healthy and ready to do its job in the big top! Both games are rated E for everyone.
Kids love the circus and if you have a Nintendo DS or a Wii fan on your list, these games should be a hit under the tree and they will appeal to the whole family.
