(More customer reviews)We have been bringing home software learning toys for our son since BabyWow. I think we've probably tried them all by now.
Our first reaction to this one wasn't positive. We started referring to it as "The annoying pencil" because the "host character" is an animated pencil programmed to sound like an overeager nag.
However, my son played with it occasionally, and we gradually began to realize that this was one of the better organized computer learning toys we'd brought home. Rather than the very simple-minded, one game one subject model that most of these learning toys use the games are graduated so that they get gradually more complex and the concepts build logically on one another. He actually seems to be learning from this game, where so many of the kids learning tools seem to subscribe to the education as "trained pony tricks" models.
Someone else mentioned that they found the British accent off-putting, but our son didn't seem to have a problem with it. The actor speaks clearly and doesn't use any inscrutable slang that we've noticed.
We've decided that this is the one we'll try for second grade.
