Product Description

Product Description
Based upon the classic fairytale, The Three Little Pigs is for children of ages four and up. It can also be viewed either from the Pigs' perspective or the Wolf's, and while each version follows the fairytale, the story has been developed to give it a more modern feel.

Throughout the story there are stimulating activities which the children are encouraged to complete, such as building a house out of bricks, or helping the Pigs cross the river. These activities help children develop basic skills such as reading, simple logic and observation.

Four different storytelling modes within the disc allow for choice in how the story is told. It can be fully narrated so that children can watch it alone, or text appears under the screen to allow parents to narrate the story themselves. Alternatively, in "karaoke" mode, lyrics to the songs are brought up on screen to enable children to sing along, or you can choose to see the pictures only and make up your own story.

With captivating songs, beautiful graphics and charming illustrations, this interactive retelling of The Three Little Pigs is set to become a children's favourite.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT for pre-schoolers, 21 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I have been impressed by many of DK's products, both books and CD-ROMs. But I have to say that I found this CD-ROM entirely inappropriate for a child. The graphics used to depict the wolf, the storyline and the sound effects, were all far too disturbing, scary and carried the threat of violence (it may actually get violent later, I don't know as I did not want my daughter to see it any more). There is nothing whatsoever on the packaging to warn you about this - on the contrary it is described as "a delightful cast of beautifully animated woodland creatures" or "ages 4-6".

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Scary for Small Children, 10 Oct 2002
By A Customer
I would not recommend this for very young children - had a bad experience with my young child (3 yrs) when it came to the wolf scene - it is quite strong for 'sensitive' toddlers though I dare say the bolder of the variety might enjoy it. I'd recommend that you don't take the chance (unless you have a very wordly toddler on your hands) and spend your money on something written with children, rather than parents, in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars a very BAaaaaD wolf, 17 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This is a fabulous CD. a favourite story with lovely graphics, great soundtrack, and lots of interest. My four year old needs me to sit with him on account of the most incredibly scary wolf... is it really necessary to have such terrible monster? However he creeps back from behind the sofa to continue. The pigs have to pass various obstacles and need to answer questions, cross rivers or build houses to proceed. By clicking and listening it is easy to follow. there is lots to discover and my 9 and 11 year old found it pretty amusing too. I would recommend it wholeheartedly, except that wolf is a bit worrying...
