Product Description
From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
This two CD bundle lets kids explore geography and history in a playful and engaging way. In My First Amazing World Explorer, children visit faraway places, send postcards and collect stamps in their passports. The activities begin with the creation of a passport, which allows children to sign in and then track their progress. What's great about this program are the many different layers of play and the features that keep kids coming back over time. By exploring animated maps of the world, children can visit familiar as well as exotic places. Boats and planes take them on journeys and allow them to collect 19 stamps in their passports. Clicking on pictures of people, buildings, animals and other attractions bring up information windows about the subjects. Many of these windows permit kids to take a snapshot to add to their "sticker book." With My First Amazing History Explorer, children travel back in time to visit eight countries. Their mission is to rescue a missing professor who is lost somewhere in history. To accomplish this task, kids must locate key historical artifacts. They travel back to Ancient Egypt, The Industrial Age and the Roman Empire. As children explore, they earn stickers, play activities and learn lots of history via 150 narrated popup screens. Other features include two hours of narration, a comprehensive multiple choice quiz, and a glossary of terms. This is a super program that keeps kids engaged and learning for hours.

History Explorer IS Amazing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: My First Amazing World Explorer/History Explorer Bundle (CD-ROM)
My five-year-old has been captivated by the History Explorer program for several months. The program offers the user transport to one of several different historical time periods in different regions of the world. Each period offers an appropriate and pleasant musical background while the user clicks on various icons in the setting to find out what each represents. My son has spent hours clicking to hear an explanation of knights jousting in the Medieval Europe, bodies being mummified in Ancient Egypt, or the Great Wall being built in Ancient China. Once he had a good grasp of each setting, he decided to try to "Find the Professor" by clicking around in each time period until he found the secret path. The game helped him move through the periods more quickly, giving him a sense of the passage of time, but it was certainly nice for him to opt NOT to play the game initially, allowing complete exploration of each time period.The program is full of fun extras, like being able to choose what you want to look like in the travel photos and collecting stickers for your travel journal. The narration is expertly done by children and is offered for everything, making it a good program for pre-readers. I am amazed at how interested my son is in history, and I give this program total credit for his fascination! I'm hoping that there will be another edition with seven or eight NEW historical time periods to explore.

This review is from: My First Amazing World Explorer/History Explorer Bundle (CD-ROM)
My 5 year old grandson and 50 year old husband both loved this! We purchased this to entertain my grandson during a 2 week visit and were more than pleasantly surprised. This is more than a game - it is a learning experience and will grow with you. The whole family enjoyed it!
