    1 out of 5 stars liked the older version a lot better   May 28, 2008
    Sandy (WA)
    5 out of 5 found this review helpful

    This product is supposed to be for 4 to 6 year olds but I would say it is better suited for just 6 year olds. My daughter tried to play it this morning for the first time and was very dissappointed that it was too challenging. She has been playing the Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten 4 CD set and that one is really good. This one is composed of video arcade style games (too busy) and is not nearly as sweet as the one mentioned above. The reading game for example, assumes they can already read words like "cash register" on level one. Perhaps I need to explore this product a bit further but as far as I can tell it is completely inappropriate for your average 4 and 5 year olds.
