More Bugs in Boxes is a delightful logic and creativity CD that lets kids draw with bugs, make music and read along in a bug-themed book. School Zone's Alphabet Express offers eight letter games including hidden letters, mazes and coloring. Finally, Grown-Up Gabby in Once Upon a Time is a limited, one-time-through interactive storybook with five activities. The other three, however, are highly recommended.Teaches: Age Range: Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!" Review: My girl doesn't care for these programs and neither do I - My four-year-old daughter plays a lot of educational computer games on a regular basis and has fairly high expectations on graphics and entertainment value that a game should provide. These activities are educational but lacking high-end graphics and a competitive game-winning environment. She only plays these when I put them into the computer and tell her, "It's time to try this one again." I suggest you spend your software budget on other programs. Review: Preschool excelerator is a great program!! - I bought this 4 cd programmes for my son, and I must say that he is having a great time with them. He seems to have Alphabet Express and Millie and Bailey's Preschool as his favourites. I bought this program while he was in preschool and now that he is kindergarten, he has a good grasp of many activites he is being taught now. Thanks to the preschool excelerator. The good thing is that he is still interested in these activities and I would recommend this program to anyone with young children....I haven't regretted buying it.
