Hard to navigate [Posted on 2006-06-08]
I bought this software for free, paying for the shipping. Let's say, you get what you pay for! This software is one of the worst I've seen in a long time, especially in lieu of that it is targeted for kids.
I installed then played around with it. What it looks like is a jumbled room that you click around "exploring".There is no index or list of games. The games on there seem very pointless, and do not really teach math or reading, as I was hoping for, let alone anything relating to first grade preparation. The character that pops up is an annoying, extremely British crayon, that the average person can't understand. All of the speech on here is British, which isn't good for American kids that may have never heard that accent and not be able to understand it.
It may be listed on here for cheap, but don't bother wasting your money, otherwise, you'll end up wasting your time as well, with the installing and uninstalling. I guarantee your child will not even desire to play this one.
Stick with Mickey Mouse Kindergarten or series that are similiar (at least you see that they are learning patterns and letters and words, etc. on that one, all while watching Disney characters act silly.).

not what I expected [Posted on 2007-11-04]
Even though the disc were really cheap, I expected it to be more engaging like any online kids learning site. It was hard to navigate around the cd for specific lessons.

GREAT PROGRAM FOR KIDS!!!! [Posted on 2007-11-26]
Get this product while the getting's good! My boy's teacher used this software in her classroom and then we got it for home.
