Very age appropriate for my 2 and 3 year olds July 12, 2009
Garrett Schiff (San Diego, CA)
I like this game a bit more than my kids do. The game is very simple and can be mastered by my pre-schoolers with basic mousing skills. My biggest complaints about the game are (1) the small number of puzzles causes re-runs during the same session, and (2) the graphics are like 1995 quality and look pretty poor on a newer PC with HD resolution on a 24" monitor. An technology update, and a few new puzzles would make this a more appealing offering.
That said, I still find the game amusing and mildly educational, and it has been good for helping my 2 year old develop his mousing skills. As for reading coaching, it might help a little, but other games such as ItsaBitsa do a much better job and making small kids think about the connection with printed words on the screen and speech.
 daughter LOVES books and game January 12, 2009
G. Romma (SoCal USA)
This game is based on the popular Walter Wick "I Spy" books, and it doesn't disappoint. My daughter is very fond of both. The recommended ages for the game are 3-5, but if your young one can use a mouse and listen, I imagine he will enjoy the game. A child's voice narrates, the text (written in the style of the books)is highlighted and encourages reading, and there are animated rewards once the hidden object is found (and clicked), so the game can be used as a learning tool. If your child is terribly clever he may complete the puzzles (there are a few)quickly, as did my daughter (newly age five); but so far she has not become bored playing again and again. Older children might zip through the puzzles and not feel compelled to play again, since they are limited and do not change. Perfect for a preschooler.
 Won't run on XP May 19, 2008

Out of the box this box crashes on Windows XP. After following the advice from Scholastic to run it in compatibility mode, it no longer crashes, but just presents me with a black screen. Calling this "XP compatible" is a joke, if you have to rely on luck to get it to run at all.
Great computer introduction game May 2, 2008
Amy Barry (Sisters, OR United States)
This is a great first game to introduce the computer and teach kids how to use a mouse. We started with this game when my son was 3 and he caught on pretty quickly. There are several levels of various difficulty but the easiest ones are easy to do. Now that he is 4 he still enjoys playing this but is moving on to more pre-k learning games (I highly recommend Dr. Seuss Kindergarten too for age 4!!!)
Overall though, this is a great way for really young kids to learn how to use a computer!!!
