Value

|
Every one of the "Treasure" titles from The Learning Company has great educational value. Each has a strong emphasis on math, reading and problem solving skills. They have a good balance between reinforcing skills through repetitive practice (with different problems) and introducing new skills as the child progresses up the 'mountain'. At the same time your child will have lots of fun!

If your child likes adventure games - where s/he has to find objects and solve puzzles to achieve a goal, then your child will love this title. It's fun and becomes increasingly challenging as the levels change. The graphics are nice, fast loading and cute. As the levels increase, there will be surprises that your child will encounter and enjoy.

Lasting Value
|
|
Each CD in this series supports a wide range of learning levels, so children can steadily advance at their own pace for quite a while before reaching the top. There is enough variety in each CD and level that children can replay the same sections over and over and continue to have fun and to learn. Unlike other learning CD's, with these you don't feel that your child will quickly grasp the material and you'll have to buy the next one in the series shortly. |
Quality

|
Overall, each CD is well done. The activities are challenging yet inviting, the animation and graphics are cute, and interesting. |
