This review is from: Arthur's Sand Castle Contest (CD-ROM)

My 7-year old daughter likes to play with this game, but she gets frustrated by some pages, and she doesn't like it as much as some other Arthur games (e.g. Arthur's Computer Adventure, Arthur's Birthday Party, Arthur's Reading Race), or the Pajama Sam games.
