Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This adventure begins with Mia wearing her mother's gorgeous new hat, without permission, while playing on the roof of her house. Without warning, a torrential downpour washes Mia down the drainpipe. She barely manages to avoid being swept into the sewer, but her mother's hat slips away. Down the sewer it goes, where a rat named Romaine and his wretched cousins find it. Mia must get the hat back from Romaine or she'll be in some kind of trouble. With help, Mia must find enough "sparklies" to trade for her mother's hat. But hurry--mother will be calling her home soon.

The Mia adventure series integrates fun learning activities into a story-game of exploration. In each adventure, kids lead Mia throughout her house and garden to find articles needed to complete a mission. Along the way, they encounter challenging activities to test their abilities. Successful completion of each task results in a reward, bringing the companions one step closer to their goal. Kids learn about plants and animals, the solar system, weather and clouds, and electricity and magnetism as they play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun while learning, October 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mia's Science Adventure - "Romaine's New Hat" (CD-ROM)

With its great animation and colorful environment, Mia captured my daughter's attention immediately. Unfortunately, it took some time to learn how to maneuver and some of the activities required a bit of my help (hence only four stars). Now that my daughter has mastered the basics, she loves the game! She loves the feeling of control (she got to "drive" a car) and the amusing situations. I would highly recommend it, but be sure to both read the directions and watch the instructional movie--we missed out on some of the necessities the first time.

I loved this program, and it was so great to play, you find yourself playing for hours! Do make sure that you read the instruction manual that comes with the CD-ROM, because it makes the game much easier, and it can help you if you ever get stuck when you're playing.
