Then I realize that it all has to do with the rainforest and that it is from this game. She'll play it for hours, (if I let her). There are lots of games, places to explore and fun to be had.

The only thing that would improve this game is to have more narration. It is set for a higher age level, so that's understandable...

The rainforest comes alive with this MSB issue. Microsoft shows us why most of the cures for our maladies, etc. comes from rainforests. And, why we shouldn't keep destroying them. Kids learn all about the value of a rainforst. My seven year old played the heck out of this selection, and when we visited a real rain forest in Nov. 2003, he knew what to expect. And, of course, MSB helped...
