   This was my sons first computer game. Its easy to use and understand also flexible work with the mouse. Very quickly he was able to play on his own. The game is on one hand challenging for my son yet he succeeds enough not to get frustrated. There’s a wide variety of things to do and the different levels add new interest to any given game. I think you really get allot here for your investment. Educationally there’s a little bit of everything. This CD isn’t a “learn math” or “learn how to read” application but it reinforces basic skills of counting, adding, rhymes, shape recognition, planning and fun perfect for 4-5 year old.

   This is a really neat CD for kids. It is challenging, yet the game is very easy to navigate for kids. I can sit my daughter down, let her play, and not have to worry about her getting stuck because she cannot navigate. This is not some cheap game that is similar to the freebies online either. There are plenty of activities that really challenge my daughter. Plus, the activities get progressively harder. I have Blue’s Clues, Stanley, Pooh, Mickey Mouse, Dinosaurs, and a few other games for her, but she likes this one best – even after some of the “newness” has worn off.

   My son (3 1/2 ) loves this game. He can easily switch the level of difficulty depending on the activity and loves the payoff in the end. He is now interested in doing mazes and patten sequencing as a result of this program. It is cute, fun and right on target for the age group. We are very happy with this purchase.

   My son had a lot of fun with this software package, but it’s not something where you can leave your kid with it and go do something else. The interface is confusing. The cursor often disappears and reappears during the normal course of loading the introduction to certain games, which makes it very confusing for a little guy who just got into a game he’s already played and just wants to get out of the game but can’t.

   Also, the interfaces are not consistant. Some use the gold arrow cursor all the time, while others have the cursur disappear and suddenly one of tha dog characters becomes directly manipulated by the mouse. Again, not consistent and can be quite confusing for a small child.

   Then there’s the fact that it’s really just about a half-dozen games that can be played through in about an hour, and then where do you go after that? To another software package, probably. Of course, there’s three difficulty levels and that may make the games interesting for a second or third play.

   The bottom line is this is a cute but needlessly confusing (the maze with T-bone is really hard, not maze but the mouse interface) set of game software that will likely have you hovering over your child and helping him/her rather than going off and doing something while you’re offspring use the computer.

   Easy to use, educational and fun game for 3 to 5 year olds. My son, 7, is too mature for this game now, but he used to play it a lot and learned patterns, letter sounds, rhymes and counting. My daughter, 4, is very much into it and is learning the same things too.
