  Content: Out of the box this box crashes on Windows XP. After following the advice from Scholastic to run it in compatibility mode, it no longer crashes, but just presents me with a black screen. Calling this "XP compatible" is a joke, if you have to rely on luck to get it to run at all.
  Summary: Won't run on XP

  Content: This is a great first game to introduce the computer and teach kids how to use a mouse. We started with this game when my son was 3 and he caught on pretty quickly. There are several levels of various difficulty but the easiest ones are easy to do. Now that he is 4 he still enjoys playing this but is moving on to more pre-k learning games (I highly recommend Dr. Seuss Kindergarten too for age 4!!!)
  
  Overall though, this is a great way for really young kids to learn how to use a computer!!!
  Summary: Great computer introduction game

  Content: Our 4 year old son really likes I Spy books and this CD is a great transition to more challenging activities. He mastered the seek and find section immediately, but still finds the concept of grouping like things a challenge (these are Venn Diagrams I remember being introduced to in 3rd or 4th grade). There is also a section on patterns, which is an area he has studied at preschool earlier this year, but he still finds some of the patterns a challenge, without getting discouraged. I definitely recommend this CD, especially if your preschooler has enjoyed I Spy Books in the past.
  Summary: Great educational game for a pre schooler

  Content: This was great for my 3 1/2 yr old. He can explore all by himself. He loves that it's similar to big brother's I Spy games. Things make silly noises when he clicks them to add interest and entertain.
  Summary: Holds interest
