My daughter received this game as a gift on her fourth birthday. We sat down to 'figure it out' but she within 20 minutes she knew more than mom. I watched her sense of independence and accomplishment as she found her way around the games and even learned in the process.

It is an 'interactive' storybook that keeps children's attention. I was amazed at all the different surprises you could find by just clicking around the screen. I soon heard my daughter saying a few of the words before they were read. The combination of fun and repetition is wonderful.

Also included is the Great Gift Mystery game. DW has pulled all the tags off of the gifts and you must find clues to match the gifts to their givers. A musical version of an all time favorite party game, pin the tail on the donkey, is a cute touch.
