This is a Jump Start Title - they make only the best! However, this one the Jump Start Animal Adventures - is very easy to use -I help at a day care center - in the computer department - working with three, four and five year olds on the computers - they went wild over this title - the graphics are great the music is great - it still uses the mouse for picture taking but in the games the introduction to the use of the arrow keys and the space bar is a nice, very nice touch. It has got "just the right balance of knowledge learning and game fun - the three skill levels are great with this added touch all children can progress at their own speed - I have a five year old, girl, whos birthday came at the wrong time of the year last year for her to go to kindergarten this last year - she is playig it on level 3 and loves it - she really loves the "Animal Smarts" game at the end. I also have a four year old boy who is at the same level as my five year old girl. Yes, I must admit, I am the five year old girl's Grandmother as well as I have her in my computer class at day care - Buy this - you will "NOT" be SORRY - Thank you!

Fantastic fun and games

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.

Better than excellent!

Well I can't say enough about this program! My 3-year-old daughter is a complete animal nut and when I got her JumpStart Animal Adventures, she dove right in. The graphics and animation are incredible and the music is really fun. I wish Knowledge Adventure would make a million more of these titles! They're great!

Educational and Fun

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.

All time favorite in our house!

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.

Great Game!

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!

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.

As close as you can get to a trip to a topnotch zoo!

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.

Amazing Animal Adventures

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.

Wonderful learning game

I absolutely love this game. My daughter knows a lot about animals and their habitats because of this interactive game. I've yet to find something else as well put together as this!
