(More customer reviews)My 4 year old daughter has had this program for about a month and absolutely loves the Pajama Sam character - a cute, polite, smart and persistent role model. So, it's quickly become one of her favorites and she initiates playing it often.
Pajama Sam's educational style is different than some other children's educational programs. It's learning how to solve problems through observation, memory, analysis, mental mapping, puzzle solving and trial and error. The scenario is that Pajama Sam needs to help correct out of control weather patterns in the world and to do that has to fix the weather machine. For example, he has to find parts, figure how to make them viable, and install them. But, almost nothing is direct. For example, he must get in the gate of the control center, but cannot until he can get past the gatekeeper. Or, he must find a way to open the can of solar energy that he has found before he can use it. Hmmm, how can he do that? So, it's 1-step forward, and 2-steps back - like many real problems.
Some of these challenges are difficult for a 4 year old, so I think it works best with children of that age if a parent plans on some patient side-by-side time with their child in front of the screen. For example, some of the concepts can be unfamiliar to a 4 year old child, such as what a Wing Nut might be used for in fixing the weather machine. But, if you have the time to spend to coach them through these parts, I think this game is a good complement to other styles of learning. So, my 5-star rating assumes some guidance for children as young as 4 years old. If they will be left completely on their own with it, I think it's more suitable to an older child.
One last point: My daughter now sometimes says, YOUR QUITE WELCOME in response to THANK YOU. The talking telephone in the Pajama Sam game replies to him that way (with QUITE) when he thanks it. There are many instances of polite behavior modeling in this program.
