Pajama Sam is an animated boy who
is always ready to overcome his fears and investigate his
concerns. Though his head looks like a pale green mop top, he's a
believable little boy whose adventurous spirit and determination
will appeal to kids—whether he's tackling his fear of darkness in Pajama
Sam No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside, conquering his
fear of thunder in Pajama Sam 2 Thunder and Lightning Aren't So
Frightening, or learning about the importance of proper
nutrition in Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head
to Your Feet. These titles feature gorgeous graphics,
compelling story lines, and plenty of head-scratching problem
solving for children approximately 6-9.
For kids just a
little younger, Putt Putt is a fun software companion. Kids
will enjoy helping out this polite purple car and his puppy
pal Pep as they find displaced baby animals in Putt Putt Saves
the Zoo, retrieve school supplies (and Pep!) back in time in Putt
Putt Travels Through Time, prepare to race in the Cartown 500
in Putt Putt Enters the Race, and save the circus in Putt
Putt Joins the Circus. For newbies, both Putt Putt Saves
the Zoo and Putt Putt Joins the Circus are predictable
enough once solved to be comfortable. Kids who prefer a
"new" adventure the second time around will enjoy the
other titles mentioned here--objects are randomized so that new
challenges await kids in subsequent plays. Fun music, mini-games,
adorable graphics, and problem solving all contribute to make
these adventures fantastic.
Freddi Fish is an underwater sleuth who is always determined to
get to the bottom of any kind of fishy happenings under the sea.
She has starred in a total of five adventures to date. The latest
adventure, Freddi Fish 5: Creature in Coral Cave is
probably the most challenging of the bunch, and Freddi Fish 3: The
Case of the Stolen Conch Shell is our favorite, but difficult
to find.
