Children help Bob the Builder fix up a park in this pleasant program. Activities are generous in number (we counted at least ten), and are easy enough for children with beginning mouse skills. Problem solving is a big focus throughout. Children help Bob by choosing and arranging the park's bandstand, pond and trees, guiding misdirected ducks, rabbits and other animals back into their pens, fixing a skateboard ramp for Spud, and reassembling dinosaur bones, among other things. Weaknesses are few and insignificant. The cursor is awkward to control in a handful of the activities, and kids inadvertently select the wrong button when positioning a golf club, or when guiding animals to pens. Strengths are abundant. The instructions are clear and readily accessible, but don't interfere with the game's responsivity. The characters offer support that is interruptible and not overdone. Children can easily see what they've completed via a child-friendly progress report, and can adjust difficulty levels for most activities. Most importantly, preschool testers thoroughly enjoyed the program.
