Fun. My three year old likes it! [Posted on 2002-05-21]
Two things are wrong with this CD which is why I gave it four stars instead of five.

1- There are only five activities on this CD. This is a problem when many of the other CD's you can buy have many more activities. I was a little bit dissapointed by this aspect.
2- The games a little too arcady for my taste. However having said that- I'm not the one playing it and my three year old son enjoys this CD.

I think that this would be too easy for a child that was five or six. I think this is really directed towards three to five year olds. For my three year old the games develop skills like problem solving, understanding directions and more. I was amazed at how quickly he caught on to the game of hot and cold to find something in one of the games on this CD. Now we play it around the house.

This is a fun CD that does develop thinking skills in younger kids. Be warned though that although the games can be leveled to higher and higher levels, there are only five games. That gets kind of old after a while, even if the level gets harder.

Extremely Disappointing from an Arthur Fan [Posted on 2002-10-12]
Like other reviewers, I find this game to have very little educational content..or content period. My sons (2 and 3) tire quickly of its few games, and really just enjoy the regurgitating sound the garbage can makes in the painting section.

Save your money for better quality games.

Not for MacOS [Posted on 2004-01-09]
We just purchased this and recived a version that is NOT compatible with the MacOS. Perhaps there are newer versions that work with the Mac, but be aware that some of the used ones may NOT be Mac compatible.

Autistic Kid Likes It [Posted on 2004-09-28]
My 7-year old autistic daughter loves all the Arthur CD-ROM's we have.

This is not the best, but it is not the worst; I'd place it somewhere in the middle of the pack, as far as the quality of the software, and the interest value of the content.

She especially likes to launch water balloons against the dragon, and to make the mummy climb the pyramid, over and over again.
