This review is from: Dinosaur Hunter (CD-ROM)

My 6 year old son LOVES this computer dinosaur "adventure." He can't read all the text yet, but he can navigate through the virtual museum, play the numerous informative videos, excavate all the bones and bring the dinos to life. It takes some thinking, plus trial and error, to figure out how to excavate the bones and assemble the skeletons so they can be "reanimated." He got frustrated a few times, but with a little help from me (Mom), he solved the problems and completed the skeleton assembly. I'm hoping the text part will be more interesting for him as his reading skills improve, so that the adventure can continue for a couple of years!
