Good beginner game
My son has been playing this since 2 1/2 year old. He can play it by himself, although he does use some trial and error, especially the pattern game and the what's missing game. My 5 year old daughter who loves Dragontales shows, is not interested in this game, which suggests that the game is too easy for her. I like that the program automatically advances levels, unlike many of the other software we have.
Better for the younger set
This game markets itself as appropriate for 4-6 year olds. I bought this for my 5 year old and she beat it in less than 30 minutes. The game itself is extremely short - only 6 activities. This may be better for 3 and 4 year olds just learning to count and learn shapes. But for those already competent or even familiar with them, its a waste of money.
Fun and Educational
My four year old enjoys this. The look and sound of the software is the same as the PBS show. Some of the activities my four year old can do by himself while others require some help from mom or dad. The software gives directions for your child to follow. There are activites such as counting and shape sorting and other activities that require an understanding of bigger/smaller, up/down, etc. We have about four computer games. In order of preference our son likes Dragon Tales followed by Little People Farm/Airport, then Clifford Thinking Adventure and then Finding Nemo. Overall, Dragon Tales Learn to Fly is a good value that runs well on my older Windows 98 system.^M
