Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As soon as the bright pre-school train puffs its way out of the station, young children enter the magical world of Charlie the Cat and his friends.

Just move the mouse and Peter Polar bear starts swinging in a tree, Eleanor Elephant begins to skip and Charlie starts bouncing a ball. But the fun really starts when you go into the play school.

Here there are a whole host of educational activities to take part in. Cecil the Mouse clearly explains what is available and his instructions are easy to follow. If you click on the artist area, you can play an engaging game of numbers and all the time the friendly cartoon-like bear provides support and encouragement.

But the outstanding feature of Jump Ahead 2000: Preschool is the piano. Click on the piano and the rolls of music immediately unfold and the catchy songs begin. The quality of the singing is excellent and the words of the popular nursery rhymes appear at the same time--young children are guaranteed to love them.

This CD-ROM is full of incentives and you can even collect tickets if you do well to go on a special train ride. Packed with puzzles, high-quality songs and learning activities, this is probably one of the best examples of children's software aimed at this age group. -- Justin Hunt

3.0 out of 5 stars Well put together, adults will find the repetition annoying., 5 May 2002
My three year old likes playing some of the games on the preschool CD. The Toddlers CD never held his attention too much.

In its credit the graphics are beautfully done and the animation is smooth and well thought out.

Both I and my 3 years old find the constant 'speeches' highly annoying. Between each round of a game the character gives a long explaination, while this is happening you cannot advance. My son gets very frustrated clicking without a reaction. The speeches are very long as well.

Adults will be driven mad by the repetition of phrases and the high pitched voices! be warned!

Some of the games are good and my son loves them. The rest are pretty but boring. They should have put more effort into the games and less into the graphic design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jump Ahead Toddlers, 4 Nov 2000
By David Parsons (Peterborough, England) - See all my reviews
This CD-Rom contains seven exciting activities for toddlers to explore. My two year old son has had so much fun and learnt so much from the different activities such as: co-ordination, shapes, matching, repeating words. There are lots of areas to explore within each section. Some of the sections can be operated with a keyboard (pressing any keys) others require mouse co-ordination. This program taught my son very quickly how to use a mouse. A brilliant, colourful and fun program for new and young computer users.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parents view, 23 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Initially my son held my hand as I operated the mouse. Within an hour he was clicking in and out of the puzzles. The enthasis is on fun, with visual and audio rewards for completing the tasks and puzzles. The songs are both educational and catchy (for a four-year old). Now he is approaching starting school I look forward to the next disc in the series.
