 Amazing Animal Adventures, 2003-10-14
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.

As close as you can get to a trip to a topnotch zoo!, 2003-09-06
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.

 Good for older kids, but a little too goal driven, 2002-11-14
The program installed easily and had nice graphics. But I felt the games were too focused upon earning "points" and pushed the child to finish one task and go onto the next. Make sure your child has advanced mouse skills because some of the games are quite difficult, even at level 1.

Educational and Fun, 2002-08-09
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.

Better than excellent!, 2002-07-17
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!
