4.0 out of 5 stars decent, for a six year old, August 22, 2004

This product will work quite well with XP or 2000. My daughter especially likes the explorer part. She has learned some things about ancient Egypt from this, and it seems to be getting her interested in other cultures. She is just now starting to get into the math CD, and it's a little hard for her, but she's catching on. Overall, it was a well-spent $19. It will work with Farstone's virtual CD, for those that are tired of saying "don't touch the shiny part" and washing CDs.

It's a decent product, although not as interesting or amazing as other learning-type software out there for this age group. The math and reading levels do not seem to be in sync with each other, but it's easy enough to go to the level that best fits your child. If you are an educated, progressive, and open-minded parent, the "magical" stuff won't bother you a bit.
