Littlest Pets are back and are hanging out in the Littlest Pet
Shop Round & Round Pet Town. Kids four to five years old can join
in and help them create their perfect wonderland.
What Goes On in Pet Town
Pet Town is the kind of getaway where animals of all species hang
out, ride the gondola all day, get their hair done in the salon,
ride the scooter, and get fascinated by elevators. The included
monkey and dog are magnetized to stay securely on their rides,
and there's plenty of room for enhancing Pet Town with additional
pets and Pet Nooks later.
This 'Pet Town' features a salon, scooter, gondola, and
elevators. View larger

. A Great Gondola Ride
Pet Town is divided down the center by a pole, at the top of
which is a wind-up key that powers the "gondola," a ride
consisting of pets sitting in baskets that move around a circle.
Although the ride could last a bit longer--even when fully wound,
it stops after about 20 seconds--the gondola is the toy's best
feature, with the baskets making sharp, swinging turns and the
pets' heads bobbing in response to the motion. At the base of the
pole, the scooter is secured in place by snapping a tab behind
the front wheels into a corresponding slot which is then moved by
turning a thumb wheel.
Securing the scooter via the tab-in-slot method is a good idea
and certainly ensures that it stays on the track, yet younger
children may have trouble getting it attached properly. The thumb
wheel is difficult to turn; it drags rather than spins. The
"elevator" is an open-ended tube that operates by placing the pet
inside on a center pod and manually moving it up and down. The
right side of Pet Town consists of the "cafe," the "playroom,"
and the "salon," identified as such by stickers. Overall, the
construction of the various moving parts is sturdy. The two
included animals, a monkey and a dog, are made of soft plastic
with heads that bob when in motion, and they are posable when
still.
Cute Animals, Bright Colors
The bright colors and the numerous moving parts make Pet Town a
toy that should hold the interest of young children.
Additionally, the embossed flowers and cobblestones, trellises,
and other assorted designs in the plastic add a nice tactile
dimension for young fingers. The animals themselves are
wonderful, with endearingly sweet faces. To earn its space, the
elevator could do even more: Equipping it with a wind-up feature
like the gondola has would make it more appealing. The right side
of Pet Town, perhaps because only two animals are included, seems
sparsely populated. Additional pets and accessories are sold
separately, but they're really necessary if the salon, cafe,
playroom, scooter, elevator, and three seats on the gondola--not
to mention the various ledges and nooks--are to be used.
