My daughter LOVES this game!

2001-07-16
My 9 year-old son and my 3 year-old daughter both love this game. They play it together taking turns with different parts of it. My daughter still needs help in the store making change to buy the different clothes and some times will get frustrated when adding ingredients to make the recipes, but luckily her big brother helps her with this part. It isn't difficult, but you need to be able to count things out. The recipes ask for 3 eggs, etc so all you need to do is find the group of eggs (and there is exactly the amount the recipe asks for) and drag them into the mixing bowl. This game has several different things to do in it, both fun and educational. It is also set up like a story book so you go through different pages and click on certain objects and they do funny things. The kids LOVE that!

Quality Learning and Laughing With Grandchild

2000-11-20
My Grandchild has this marvelous game. While visiting we spent several hours playing and interacting. I was impressed with the amount of information and most of all, the fun she enjoyed while using this computer game. The characters are cute and have enough naughtiness to entertain a child. There is positive reinforcement as each level is reached. Oh, how I wish that I had been able to have the wonderful tools to use when my own children were growing up. I must add.....How important it is to have the parent's interest and interaction, as well as the toys. So very important..! gramma Char

Top-quality game

2000-07-03
We've looked at most of the popular software for our four-year old daughter. For the most part, the selection and quality has been disappointing. "Arthur's Computer Adventure" was a welcome departure from the poorly produced Macromedia Director numbers that other companies are selling out there. The entire product was enjoyable from start to finish. The best feature is the play while you read portion of the software that allows the kids to follow-along while the book is read, then interact with the many amusing clickable areas of the pages. Captivating, well-designed, and at the top of my recommended list.

Great interactive learning experience for pre- & beginning readers!

I'm a reading educator and highly recommend this product as a natural, enjoyable way to enter the realm of reading. Before you know it, your child will be picking out words, that is, learning vocabulary. Forget the phonics books! USE REAL READING EXPERIENCES LIKE THIS ONE.

Not very educational

2005-11-28
I bought this software after reading the reviews. Yes, this game is fun and my sons love to play it. But, that is all it is. Mostly they are just games. We have many other software titles where the children are always learning when they are playing. My children want to play this game. However, I want my children to use the computer as a learning tool, not a gameboy.

very good

Autistic Kid Loves It

2004-09-28
This is my 7-year old daughter's alltime favorite, among many CD-ROM's we have for her now.

We got it in the 3-pack version along with Little Bear's Rainy Day Activities, and Dr. Seuss's Kindergarten (but she loves Arthur's Computer Adventure much more than the other two).

She will play for hours and hours, with all the little interactive surprises. She seems really proud at having discovered so many hotspots to click on, and she discovers more, even after I'd thought I'd found all the ones on some of the pages.

Lasting entertainment

My two boys (currently 6 and 4) have enjoyed this game for 2 years now....and still do! It's the only good "deep dark sea" adventure I've found that captivates them. Plus, the other little games are good and educational too.
