Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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

3.0 out of 5 stars enter into the world of digestion!, 24 Oct 2001
By A Customer
By going into 'millie metre & her adventures in the giant's belly' you literally enter into the digestive system of the giant, and try to discover why they aren't as healthy as they could be. Each area, mouth, stomach etc has a character looking after it who are very informative, a little too much so at times. My 6 year old particularly liked Chloe the 'poo' lady & making the giant fart! (such is 6 year old humour). This, like all Tivola products that we own, has lovely graphics, but there is too much chat! Some of the games are great fun, we liked 'tongue taste test' & 'true or false' best. I think this is a very good learning tool, but my six year old doesn't choose it often enough to make it a great purchase, although when she does, she gets a lot of fun out of it.
