Product Description
From Children Software Revue®
It's hard to imagine camping and computers in the same sentence but Fisher Price Ranger Trail combines both to great effect. This playful set of six outdoor-themed games is one of the few nicely designed computer activities that deals with science and the outdoors. Children start by typing in their name and then choosing a cartoon buddy to play with. This buddy shows up in several of the activities, for instance, in an engaging log race in which players must steer a log down a river to win. There's also a well-designed campfire sing-a-long with five enjoyable campfire songs. As each song is played, children see the words in a follow-the-bouncing-ball fashion. Not only is this a nice way to learn some songs but it's a good language experience as well. Other activities include a concentration game, cave painting and a dot-to-dot game based on constellations. A sub-theme to the program is the collection of 60 different animals, found hidden as clickables in the scenes of each activity. As children search, they are told facts about each item they find. For example, we are told that bats hang upside down, and that raccoons are nocturnal animals. Children sometimes found these mini-lectures to be on the dry side, especially when they couldn't be interrupted. The good news is that the quality of the graphics and music is enough to hold a child's interest. Overall, this is a solid CD that children will enjoy. The program can keep track of multiple children, although teachers will need to monitor the printing--there are lots of printing opportunities and this function can't be disabled.

My animal-mad 3.1/2 year old son loves this cd. It took him a very short time to master the 'searching for animals', which involved moving the mouse over the screen until it turned into a magnifying glass (a torch for the night scenes) and clicking to reveal what is hidden. Some of the activities are a little too much for him to master at the moment, but he is more than happy to search for the animals and, of course, capture pictures of the elusive Wonderoo using the 'camera' facility! The printable merit badges were a great hit, but he wasn't overly impressed with the campfire songs - a little too American for his tastes, I think. All in all, a nice little program he has to be dragged away from.
