5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves this!, November 27, 2005

This review is from: Dora Animal Adventures - jc (CD-ROM)

My son loves this game for PC. It has been great for him to learn to use the computer as well as animals, spanish and things about the rainforest. He was almost 3 years old when he first used it on the computer and now he is 5. It was great help in getting him familiar with the computer, typing his own name, spelling, reading, learning animals, shapes, spanish, some songs, and more. He still loves this game and it is very educational as well as entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps young minds busy for days, March 8, 2006

My 4 year old son adores this game. We use it whenever we want to console him when he cries or treat him for learning his ABCDs properly.

The game is very easy to use even if the boy/girl is using computer for the first time. My son learnt how to use the mouse effectively after playing this game. The mouse icon is quite big and intuitive. It raises the curiousity of young minds and they start clicking on all over the computer screen and slowly learn to click it effectively.

My son also learnt quite a few English words after playing this game. He found that he has to abide by the rules to win a game.

The game taught him so many things which would have been difficult to teach otherwise. I definitely recommend this game for all parents who have kids between 2-5 years of age.

This review is from: Dora Animal Adventures - jc (CD-ROM)

I bought this computer game for my 3-yr. old niece. She caught on very quickly since she is familiar with the computer and the mouse. I also purchased this for my friend's son, who hasn't used the computer as much. He struggled a little with the mouse since you have to point the mouse on specific features and then click after it is highlighted. If your child isn't familiar with using a mouse, you will have to help them until they get the hang of it. But since kids catch on rather quickly, it shouldn't take long. I recommend this game for beginners and kids who like animals. I have only explored the first level, so I expect levels 2 & 3 will be just as fun, but at a higher learning level.
