Millie Metre and Her Adventures in the Giant's Belly is a charming and imaginative way for young children (aged four to eight) to learn about nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet. It's an easy-to-follow CD-ROM and to get started you simply click on a piece of fruit.
A giant has terrible stomach ache and thinks it might have been something he has eaten. So Millie Metre kindly offers to hop into a space capsule and journey into his body to see what's wrong. In the giant's enormous mouth, she meets Herbert Swallow, who is in charge of the mouth and throat area. At first he thinks Millie is an unhealthy lump of sugar. Realising she wants to help, he explains that she must find all the parts of the Golden Nutrition Pyramid to understand what will make the giant feel better.
During her journey Millie meets characters like the extremely sensitive Fussy who is based in the stomach. There is also Bulk, the baby in the giant family. You can move a magnifying glass around his body and if for example you pull it down onto the large intestine, you will go straight to meet Chloe, the Loo lady. There are also a number of fun games hidden in Bulk's stomach such as Flying Food and the Fruit and Vegetable jigsaw. As Millie spends time with characters on her journey through the body, they sing catchy songs to her which all help to make it exciting and fun for youngsters to learn about food and nutrition. --Justin Hunt
