I am so excited to find this game as an Android app! I bought this on CD-ROM years ago when I was home schooling my eldest son. Pajama Sam: Thunder and Lightning plays like an old-school adventure quest where the character has to explore different areas and pick up various inventory items along the way to be able to perform certain tasks, or unlock new areas. The theme of this app is the weather, which has been personified here, and will keep your child engaged for hours.

Pajama Sam is a regular kid who is bothered by a storm, but far be it from him to cower in the corner and whimper for his mommy. Instead, inspired by his hero, Pajama Man, he decides to go to the source of the storm and put a stop to it himself. Upon arrival at World Wide Weather, the first challenge Sam faces is to enter the building, as only employees can gain access.
Once in, Sam begins collecting items that help him overcome subsequent challenges in his bid to put an end to stormy weather. In the control room, he discovers that he must find four missing parts to the weather machine. As this is the free version, some paths are inaccessible, and so only one machine part can be found.
These kind of adventure quest apps are among my favorite kind of educational apps because they promote critical thinking, foster problem solving, strengthen memory and promote fun. You will not be disappointed with this app and I can almost guarantee you will want to purchase the full version once your child is immersed in the adventure.
