Exceptional program for little kids - Reviewed on 2007-02-07
5 customers found this review helpful.
This lovely program is gentle and low-key, paced slowly so a small child will not feel overwhelmed with the razza-ma-tazz of a lot of other preschool software. The child is given time to think and make his/her decision, and gradually unfold the many delights Millie and Bailey offer.
In fact, so many different activities are presented creatively and educationally (counting, alphabet, etc.) as well as opportunities to make greeting cards, record sounds, including their own voices, that the child will get several years of enjoyment from this product...my kids did, and we still have fond memories of the fun. Now I'm ordering it for my niece.
It's an old program (maybe Windows 95) and it may need the Compatibility Wizard available on later versions of Windows. Not hard, just type it in the SEARCH function.
Don't miss this one. It's the best!
