Another boxed set from Humongous, this one features two CD-ROMs- Freddi Fish 2: The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse and Big Thinkers! 1st Grade, plus a Freddi Fish Notebook. The software programs are terrific and playfully teach and reinforce logic, memory, math and reading. Packed with things to do, this second adventure of Freddi Fish and Luther is a safe buy for both fun and informal learning. The program starts with a visit to Freddi's teacher, Mrs. Croaker, who tells how a ghost has been stealing the guppy toys. It is up to Freddi and her friend Luther to build a trap to capture the ghost. How is the trap built? By collecting all the parts, which are randomly sprinkled throughout 35 colorful underwater scenes.
The second CD stars Ben and Becky Brightly, two characters who stretch their bodies, transform into objects, sing songs and more- all to teach early learning skills. Content is based on national curriculum standards and includes 20 activities in skills like spelling, word building, math and money. The two main characters become the manipulatives as kids solve the problems, making for an effective and unique learning tool. For example, Becky turns into a train and Ben turns into a crane and together they help kids understand fractions as different sized blocks are loaded into the train cars. The small, plastic notebook is a fun little souvenir, full of puzzles, coloring pages, and stickers. This package is definitely worth the asking price and makes an especially nice gift for five- to seven-year-old kids.
