My three and a half year old daughter is familiar with other CD Roms and was looking forward to using this, however it has been nothing but a disappointment.
The user interface isn't great. Help is non-existant at worst, difficult to find at best. Navigation is difficult for an adult let alone a child. The activities don't appear to be entirely suited to a child of the recommended age range.
The quality of the graphics and even the sound is also disappointingly poor. In places the images start to break up. Attempts to produce 3-D graphics don't really work.
The worst of the three is the three little pigs CD which is actually frightening for a three year old in some places. The games are difficult to get to grips with with no clear help facility. There is one particular activity when you have to "Zap" the rather terrifying looking (and sounding) wolf with a lightening bolt. Another activity is set at night time and the child is required to find the big bad wolf in amongst a multitude of eerie animal eyes peering through the darkeness.
Nightmare inducing stuff and quite frankly not suitable for a three year old in my opinion.
We have decided to quietly remove this CD from our collection rather than letting our child continue to play with it.
All in all I cannot really recommend this product to parents of pre-school children.

My 4 and 5 year old children both love this. They find it simple to use and have really learnt from it. I would recommend this and will be buying more in the series.

This was the first software I bought for my 3 year old daughter. She loves it and was in no time pushing me away to let her do everything for herself. She particularly likes the 'Learning Ladder' as this is the easiest of the set for her to do by herself. With 'Getting Ready for School' she needs me to sit with her for some of it and all of 'The 3 Little Pigs' (it's aimed at 4-6 year olds). I personally think it enhances her learning experience having me there to guide her rather than leaving her alone. I will most likely buy more Dorling Kindersley software if this is a guide to their quality.

Learning is Fun
My son got this when he was three years of age. He found it both useful and fun and still played with it until he was nearly 6. Read more

I am sure that the software itself is great however it was sold to me saying that it is compatable with XP when in actual fact it is not. Read more
