Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Alice in Wonderland is a story most adults know, and one that children always seem delighted to discover. This CD-ROM version from Dorling Kindersley combines elements from the story with educational activities and games, and is designed for children aged 7 to 12 years. Each user logs on with their own name, so several family members can use Alice in Wonderland at their own pace.
The CD begins with Alice following the White Rabbit down his famous hole, and arriving at the Hall of Doors--the first of 10 magical worlds she will encounter. There are riddles and problems behind some of the doors in this hallway, and you have to help Alice complete them to gain items or information she'll need later on. And of course, you get to play with the infamous "drink me" and "eat me" foodstuffs. Alice in Wonderland continues in the same vein throughout, and features many characters from the book--the Cheshire Cat is on hand to provide help, while you'll also meet the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and others. In true Alice in Wonderland style, Alice herself is a real girl, while the other characters are all animated.
Alice in Wonderland hangs together well, and this multimedia fairy tale is an interesting example of making an educational CD from a children's classic. The American voices of the characters may be a little grating at times, though. --Sandra Vogel

This excellent software is aimed at 7-12 year olds; it kept my 9 year old occupied for many hours at intervals and after some months elapsed time she advised me she had finally "completed" it. I note she has returned since however, often with her friends. As a parent I like the software because it is essentially 'problem solving' although some manual dexterity is required. It is visually attractive, combining graphics with real actors to make a virtual world which is both magical and worth detailed exploration; it has no raucous sound effects; mindless hitting of keyboard or waving of mouse have no effect; nothing is acheived without logical thought. Its main drawback obviously is that the story and setting are unlikely to appeal to many boys. Technically, like most DK software, it is robust, does not crash, and is sufficiently self explanatory within the age group specified that it should not require help or assistance from parents. I only wish I could find more software like this for the age group.
