Summary: Great Game!
Review: I bought this game for my 3 yr old. He LOVED it. Not only did he really enjoy playing it, he learned a great deal from it as well. A few months back, he broke the CD and has not been able to play it. He still talks about things that he has learned through that game. I finally decided to come back and purchase another one for him. Good buy!

Review: My 4 yr old daughter loves animals and computer games and this one has really helped her refine her animal knowledge and her computer skills. The music is "hip" and the games are well thought out and a lot of fun.I have to mention that the game was a bit complex for my daughter when she first started playing it. (In addition to the mouse, kids are required to use arrow keys and the space bar for some games.)I was pretty sure I'd have to shelf the game for a few months and try again later. But I sat with her and showed her what to do. She caught on fast.

Review: My 6 year old has not stopped this game. He loves it and does not need help. He started on the first level and kept on going. Its the first thing he does in the morning and continues all day. He no longer watches TV. We love it. He sometimes lets his sister age 4 play and she has fun too.

Summary: Nice graphics, BAD music
Review: My child never gets bored playing this game. It is a fun way to learn about animals and a great way to learn new vocabulary. This is a great gift for any 3-5 year old.

Summary: All time favorite in our house!
Review: My kids have learned SO Much from this game. I had low expectations but this far surpassed them! We have used Jumpstart software from the toddler level all the way to 2nd grade, and this is the all time favorite. Both my 4 yo and 6 yo learned a great deal about animals and their habitats, their diets and so forth, more than I knew! The games are fun and action packed enough for my 4 yo boy. The crafts and printouts are very motivating. All around, Jumpstart has a winner with this program.

Review: My son received this software for his 5th B-day. He loves it. The first day I had to sit with him. Some of the games can be difficult for a novice computer user. This software has taught him more about the food chain. It teaches about sorting into different groups, based on where the animal lives or the animals that eat meat vs. vegetables. My son was already very interested in animals and this has already taught him (and mom)a lot of vocabulary. This is great software for kids interested in animals and science. However, this should not be their only resource into the world of animals.

Summary: too goal driven
Review: The program installed easily and had nice graphics (the music, however, unless you like rap/pop, was awful). I felt the games were too focused upon earning "points" and pushed the child to finish one task and go onto the next. Lacking, too, was any real information on animals--it contains only basic tidbits. Make sure your (younger) child has advanced mouse skills because some of the games are quite difficult, even at level 1.

Review: This is a first rate game. My two boys, ages 3& 5 drive me nuts asking to play all the time. The vocbulary lessons are first rate. The music catches their attention and they sing along with the songs. The information is wonderful and requires them to use abstract thinking skills. There are crafts, stickers and a certificate. Lots of well thought out programing went into this game.
