This game will help bring home how the digestive system works and how the food you eat affects you. It also has some great activities and experiments to try at home (like eating with chopsticks, napkin folding, drinking upside down, counting peas...).

The graphics are pleasing and we didn't run into any programming errors. The game design is simplistic but the kids love it and were able to complete it without aid from us.

The age range says 6 and older however kids older than 8 or 9 will not find this game dynamic enough and will become easily put out.

My daugter of 6 liked this game a lot. She is always asking about what happens to your food, why do we burp etc. and this program answered a lot of her questions. The graphics are beautiful, not busy at all. They are a change from all the cartoon like graphics of other programs. Because this program is made in Europe, the voices do have an English accent(definitely not cockney, having lived in London, I know what cockney sounds like). The songs are funny. My 6 year old had no problem navigating this game. We own another program from this company which my daugter also likes a lot.

The narrator in this CD has a British/cockney accent and speaks quite fast. It was difficult for me to understand so it never made it under the tree. For example, the word "uvula" is pronouced "uvuler". Other than that, it's difficult to use, and is not as educational as I thought it would be. It's more like a game, and a frustrating one, because some of the links to click on lead to the same "action", song, or description, which gets quite tedious. I was reluctant to click on a page more than once and there are numerous "buttons" on each page. The art is interesting for an adult, but too busy for children.
