Nice software. The reading part is really helpful, the little tricks in the pages are really fun.

The reaonsing game, the gift mystery, is kind of hard for my 4.5-yr old. My daughter enjoys looking for the clues but it is hard to get the problem solved. Will look into it myself.

Pin the tail is kind of too easy. My daughter would only spend a little time on it.

Please note: this stuff does not run well with Vista system, dies all the time. But it runs very smoothly on my old laptop with XP professional.
