The
Glub the Sub Watery World Activity Fun Pack invites young children to dive deep into a colourful ocean to play fun games and listen to interactive stories with Glub the Sub and his cheerful watery friends. With simple stories featuring the likes of Lobby Lobster this activity-packed CD-ROM is humorous, well-animated and easy to follow.
The main attractions of this title are the puzzles and games--the dot-to-dot section is excellent. Link up a fish with your mouse and then watch it being eaten by the most colourful seal. There are large smiling penguins to colour and the alphabet section is bound to help young children develop their language skills--all tied imaginatively to a sea theme. In the letter B section, you'll find a bottle with a little ship in it, and counting games involve hilarious-looking sea horses and walruses.
Spoken instructions and encouragement with all the games and puzzles mean navigation is a breeze. Glub the Sub also comes with a highly creative and entertaining fun pack, including everything you need to make a basic Watery World Theatre for putting on your own shows, and recipes for making snacks such as "underwater" biscuits and a simple recipe for lollipops.
Developed for children aged 3-7 years, and supporting the National Curriculum Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, Glub the Sub is bound to be a welcome contrast to school text books. --Justin Hunt

The CD-ROM has a strong fun element but also manages to combine educational activities and games with the opportunity to be creative.
