Summary: fun facts, nice graphics, though no ideas
Review: Perhaps my sights are too high for cd-roms, but I would hope that they might teach kids to think more than merely entertain them with well-presented facts. Indeed, my daughter is becoming quite a reader of kids' science literature, which I think is definitely far better than this kind of software. While there are puzzles, this is largely a passive experience of clicking - with little cost if you guess wrong - and mini-movies and things to print. It passes the time, but teaches very little. Can't the producers introduce some notions, such as evolution, ecology, etc?

Recommended as enterainment that can be construed as learning - if you stretch it.
