If your child has played beginning software like JumpStart and Reader Rabbit, and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of friendly characters and play games as they complete the larger tasks.

In Putt-Putt Joins the Circus, the overarching goal is to earn a ticket to the show. this is achieved by helping various circus performers prepare. You must get a nose for the clown, help the organ arrange her pipes, get a power drink to the strong-van, find a new tent for the fleas, etc. In Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, you must reunite baby animals with their parents and, along the way, build a bridge, play games, etc. These games are fun and step up the skills and thinking required for children to complete, yet they are comprehensible to youngsters and easy to use. If you leave the game, your progress is recorded without having to save the game.

There are quite a few locations and objects, though, so your child will probably benefit from your initial involvement. Eventually they will be able to play on their own, and the game is enjoyable enough that they will probably want to play it more than once. The characters are lovable and there is a lot of humor here.

These are two of the best titles in a great series for gamers age 3-8. Putt-Putt Enters the Race is also excellent. Running on a Mac we have had no problems -- easy installation and stable running.

My 3 year-old granddaughter loves this game even though I have to help her navigate through the screens. It is probably more appropriate for 4 years and up.

MY KIDS LOVE THIS, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIER PUTT PUTT GAMES. THE ONES MADE MORE RECENTLY LIKE PUTT PUTT TRAVELS THROUGH TIME CHANGES EACH TIME YOU PLAY THE GAME. THIS ONE DOES NOT. ONCE YOU PLAY IT ONCE AND FIND ALL OF THE ANIMALS, THERE IS NO CHALLENGE THE NEXT TIME YOU PLAY. THAT IS WHY I ONLY GAVE IT 3 STARS. MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 6 YEAR LOVE ALL OF THEIR PUTT PUTT GAMES, THOUGH.
