I considered being a bit harsher grading this, but given that my four year old daughter really enjoys this, I figure four stars is fair. My problem with it is in the Queen Frostine area where the user has to color several pictures to advance. This is the hardest area and is made even more difficult by the small spaces the user has to point and click into in order to add color. This isn't a major problem and does get easier as their mouse skills improve, but on first use, I thought it unnecessarily hard. Otherwise, my kids all love it (ages 10-4) and my youngest, who it belongs to, loves playing it again and again. It's fun and sweet with songs and silliness a youngster would enjoy.

This is a sweet game that my son loves to play again and again. Playing includes a coloring page, arranging shortest to tallest, counting, alphabet, size comparison, and memory match. You can choose between two levels - easy or hard.

He can play most of the game by himself, except for the shortest to tallest board, he has some trouble. But ability to complete game play without assistance will vary among each child's skill level.

Cons: This game was made before Windows XP. Therefore we experience error messages. Sometimes we have to start the games two or three times before it will begin game play without an error message. Then there's the problem with playing in two player game mode. You can't! The main solution given by the game's web site, is to let kids take turns on the 1 player option.

Other than the game errors, this is a good game for preschoolers.

Good news here - this game is truly fun and engaging for kids 3 and up. What's more, it gives kids much more thinking opportunities than its board game predecessor. My son and I started when he was 3 and aseat on my lap. We had hours of fun and never got one cavity from all that candy!

My 4 yr. old son loves this game so much we had to buy a second copy! This game is great for teaching counting, following directions and patterns. I highly recommend to parents looking for a true preschooler game.

Does anyone know if this will run on Windows 2000, as I bought it and can't seem to get it to work????

My kids love to play this game on our old computer (it won't run on our newer one..) Whenever we select the two player option, the game freezes. Solution: after selecting the two player/team option, hit and hold the F1 key while clicking a few times with the left mouse button. This will work through the hang-up and allow you to pick your characters (each player selects a fruit) and move on with the game.

This game will not work on my laptop, which runs on Windows 7. You need an older OS to run it.

It resembles the board game and is delightful and fun. Really colorful and moves along quickly. Gives child opportunities to solve problems, teaches thinking skills or some puzzle or other task. My kids really enjoy it! Keeps them playing for a long time.

We Weren't able to play this game because we have Windows XP. This disc only works on older computers. I'm sure it's a cute game, though, so I'm rating it 3 stars.

This is an AWSOME game! I've trudged through perhaps 25 children's games for my daughter before I hit this one. This group of programmers really knew their stuff! I was ecstatic when the gingerbread guy asked "Easy or (a little bit) Harder?" The Super VGA (grin) setting of 640x480 256 colors flipped my XP desktop for a loop, but we had so much fun with this that I didn't (don't) care.
