Software Reviews of Curious George Preschool Learning Games
Customer Review: Can't escape!
Summary: 2 Stars
My 4 year old is just learning to use the computer. The games in this software are creative but the navigation is not user friendly. First, it uses only a small square in the center of your screen. You choose a game from the delightful menu but you cannot get out and back to the menu if you want to move on. The games are much too long for my son's attention span and I had to use the task manager to quit the program if when I wanted to leave without finishing the game. I am very new in the kid software realm and could have been missing something but this was much tougher to use than any of the others I've bought.
Description of Curious George Preschool Learning Games
Join Curious George as he plays exciting arcade games! He's hunting down circles, targeting triangles and having the time of his life with patterns, shapes and letters! Come join the fun in a series of skill-building games especially designed for active learners.Curious George stops getting into trouble in his Preschool Learning Games to direct young children in their own discoveries. This CD-ROM teaches kids shapes, colors, pattern recognition, rhyming, and more, while offering fun animation consistent with the beloved storybooks. Games such as star patrol, pie fight, and jingles jukebox help up to eight different users develop new skills, and extras like the progress report help parents track their child's learning.
This program stresses many of the same skills that other preschool software programs cover, but with an additional element of challenge: the different skill levels offer basic to advanced lessons that support continued learning and add to the longevity of the program. For example, star patrol not only supports early-learning concepts like shape and color recognition but also introduces geometry--trapezoids and the like--a subject not ordinarily introduced to preschoolers. And, to keep the program fun, the games are smartly animated with humorous, pie-in-the-face antics.
This CD-ROM may not cast George in his traditional mischievous role, but he defiantly adds to standard educational-software fare with his fun and playful learning activities. The animation is extremely entertaining--we see everything from George getting sent into space to pies flying not only at onscreen characters but also at players! The necessity of reading the directions aloud dictates parental involvement, as do the parental controls, which include the ability to track a child's performance. --Madeleine J. Miller
