From A to Z, you're guaranteed to have a blast as you join Charlie on the first of many adventures on his home planet.

Hello! My name is Charlie and I'm a space alien! I'm from a planet far away called Europa. Have you ever heard of it? It's just like your planet Earth, but some things are missing here, like all your super-duper cool animals! All the zoologists and biologists from Europa went on a field trip to Earth and collected different animals to study. Right now, you can find them in the Europa Zoo, my favorite place on the planet to visit! Did you want to see them? Oh! Wait, I've just come up with a fun idea for a new game. Maybe we can guess the name of each animal by the letter of the alphabet? C'mon, from A to Z, let's give it a try.
