I hope she still likes spongebob in a couple of years... 
2006-04-27
I bought this game for a girl aged 4 yrs 10 mo, it is WAY over her head. Due to inexperienced parenting, I didn't realize that older kids liked spongebob too. It is a great game, but definitely not good for under 7 yrs old. I didn't fully explore the game because she lost interest quickly due to its difficulty (for an almost 5 yr old) but I wish they would have had a little more "basic fingering" there's nothing stoping the child from doing hunt and peck... perhaps an in-game incentive for using the proper fingers... just a thought. Otherwise it is a well written game that I expect she will use in 2 years or so.
Spongebob works great! 2006-03-25
This program taught my 8 year old keyboarding skills in one weekend. And, she asks to use it to practice. I am so impressed at how she is now typing her own emails to her grandmother and feels proud of how she knows how to not look at the keys and type properly. Worth every cent!

PLEASE NOTE!!!! I wrote the review regarding my daughter mentioning that Patrick had "private parts".
After looking closely I realized what my daughter was seeing was the outline of a flower that normally shows up on Patrick's pants when the pants are in color!!!!!
So please ignore that part of my review and order away!!!!
Another Kids Review 2005-12-31
I am 12 years old...yes 12 and at the apple store I clicked it just for fun. My mom had trouble pulling me out! I have some trouble typing with the right fingers and this was really starting to help me. After you accoplish something you do a little game like thing and go back to learn more. If you can't find the letters on the screen spongebob is typing the letters with you with the right fingers. I had fun!
My 11 year old liked it. 2005-10-31
My 11 year old loves it. He is already in the mid 30s wpm wise. Yes, he has questions once in awhile. Nothing that took more than 30 seconds to answer. He found lots of games to do, but ended up steering himself towards the drill so he could do better in the games. The disk got lost-he was bringing this to friends' houses and when he would go to the office with Dad for something to do. So we are buying a second one. This in my opinion is the highest praise--we liked it well enough that we are willing to shell out the bucks all over again.
won't run on current Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Leopard) 
2007-12-23
Couldn't get it to run AT ALL on recently purchased MacBook with 2GB of RAM and updated OS.
Excellent 2007-01-11
sponge bob is currently popular with the kids and this utilises that to help educate them, great
A fun typing game 2007-01-09
My eight year old daughter loves this game. This game teachs kids enough basic skills of typing but parents still need to be involved to make sure the kids use the right fingers.
annoying sounds distract from lessons 
2006-07-08
Even if the lessons are well arranged, my 7-year old refused to progress past lesson 3 - the sounds are "baby-ish" and "annoying" and if you turn them off, you lose the benefit of the instruction. You're basically stuck with the sound track and may be forced, like me, to look for another typing software...

My son is 8. Once he got going on it, he was hooked doing it all afternoon. He liked the %grade he received while learning. Of course, Sponge Bob and team make it goofy enough to be really fun. The only hassle we had was getting the CD to run. I had to uninstall, then re-install...but then it worked great on XP. His teachers in school wanted him to work on keyboarding skills over the summer. This one does it! AND it works on XP, where Mavis Beacon did not, at least up until recently.
