Pros: Visually appeals to the preschool children. The characters are fun and friendly
Cons: These characters are previously unknown to most preschool children.
Summary: This is a very delightful software package. Yet it didn't hit it off with my kids. I've been a mother for 15 years and I find that children respond better to characters they know well. My daughter, now three years old, never really liked Jump Start. ... read more

Pros: Very bright and eye catching

Pros: skill levels, cute characters
Cons: one game has to be perfect -not too many items or too little of what they are asking for in order to get your train ticket

His ... read more
