Editorial Review
Have you always wondered why so many princesses and princes in our traditional fairy tales have blonde hair and blue eyes? Well, so did the creators of this program, and they decided to adapt these favorites so that more children could identify with them. Based on the series on Home Box Office by the same name, Fairy Tales for Every Child contains three stories that have been altered to be multi-cultural adventures. Little Red Riding Hood has become "Little Red Happy Coat" as she is known in the East, Rumpelstiltskin is from the Carribean, and Hansel and Gretel are "Hanselito and Gretelita" because they are from South America. Each section contains the storybook section (where the words "light up" as they are read, a plus for beginning readers.) There are also coloring book applications in each section, with many scenes that can be colored on screen or printed and colored by the child. Little Red Happy Coat has a 3-D maze that lets the player attempt to maneuver through the woods to Grandma's (known as Poa-Poa in the story.) Three-in-a-Row is a sophisticated form of tic-tac-toe where the player first places the bugs on the chosen flowers and then later gets to "jump" them to try and make three in a row. In Rumpelstiltskin, there are "two-sided slider puzzles" where the player must not only decide which piece goes where, but also must flip the pieces to make them part of the picture being assembled. A version of the traditional African game, Mancala, called Island Wari on the program, requires the player to use logic to move nuggets around the board to the "home pit." Hansel and Gretel allows the child to navigate through a maze (complete with crocodiles and quicksand) or to complete puzzles. These are not ordinary puzzles, though. The player is allowed to choose a subject and then must assemble the character from cookie dough parts displayed on screen. It requires concentration and develops visual discrimination because many of the parts are very similar.
