Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 3 1/2 Year Old Daughter and Dad VERY Impressed!
My 3 1/2 year old daughter has been on the computer since age 18 months. She is very skilled with the mouse, but hasn't had much opportunity to use a keyboard. This game requires primarily keyboard, (using arrow keys and space bar), to navigate and interact with the characters...and the mouse to activate various featues and to play some games. After about an hour she was able to move around the 3-D interactive world very well and she quickly began to recognize that when the mouse symbol appeared ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My daughter loved it!
My daughter absolutely loved this game. She just turned 5 in April & couldn't get enough of this game. It helped her w/her reading & math. I couldn't be happier with this product.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Good teaching material, but awfully buggy software
My 3-year old likes to play with this software. I think its educational contents are great. Unfortunately, it is full of bugs that stop it from running. I have to reinstall it every 2 weeks.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My 3 1/2 year old loves this!
First the good side: My 3 1/2 year old loves this game. It engages him for a very long time. I do usually have to sit with him to work through the lessons but he loves being rewarded by earning gems and badges. He does navigate the program on his own using the mouse and arrow keys. He didn't even know how to "point and click" with a mouse before I got this program. It also teaches him how to follow directions. You do have to listen to directions carefully. It really is a great learning tool.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great game!
My daughter who is almost four, absolutely loves this game. It can get a bit pricey, so beware of that. Especially if your child goes through the game quickly. I had no problem canceling my subscription. I emailed them from the website and they canceled it the same day, no questions asked. Of course I had to resubscribe because my daughter was so heartbroken. We've introduced her to alot of computer games, but this game is by the far the one she has played the most and enjoyed. I love the learning aspect ... Read More
