Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This bundle of three older Disney programs makes a nice package for five-year-olds. The best CD of the bunch is Mickey Mouse Kindergarten, a very strong multi-subject activity pack that playfully reinforces a variety of skills. Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten is also an activity pack, but isn't as good a program as Mickey Mouse. Also weak is Phonics Quest, a Disney-themed exploration of early reading skills. Still, given the merits of the Mickey CD, this is a bundle worth buying-- there's lots of content and the characters are, of course, endearing.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing kindergarten software, July 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney Learning Kindergarten (CD-ROM)

After using Disney Interactive's Phonics Quest, which I think is the best of the dozen-or-so titles of early-elementary-school-age software I've tried, I looked forward to using the Kindergarten software from the same vendor. However, my five-year-old and I were immediately frustrated.

To start with, if your default disk for Windows is anything other than c:, this software crashes. That's an indication of badly-engineered code.

But it isn't just attention to detail to software engineering that makes this program a bust. The way that the kid interacts with it is confusing and boring. It comes nowhere close to matching the interest generated by the other three kindergarten titles we've tried: Reader Rabbit Kindergarten, Arthur's Kindergarten, and even the very sleepy but serviceable older title from Disney, "Winnie the Pooh Kindergarten".

My child will never ask to use this product again, I'm sure. A complete disappointment.

Visually it looked like it was going to be a great game/learning tool. The difficulty stars at the bottom were a nice touch. But the repetitiveness of the exercises was awful. I will have to try some of the other recommendations.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Disney Dud!, December 4, 2003

This review is from: Disney Learning Kindergarten (CD-ROM)

We were very dissapointed in this game. Many of the activities are exactly the same and my child quickly tired of them. To earn "rewards" she had to answer so many questions (more than I could sit through) that she wanted to move on before completing the task. We would recommend the Jumpstart series instead.
