| Dinosaur Adventure 3D | Award winning exploration of dinosaurs through interactive games, pictures, and QuickTime movies. Product recommended for ages 3-10, but the only appropriate activity for 3-5 is the Sotrybook, and possibley the Creat-A-Saurus. Product might be good for 8-10, becuase its lacks the interativity that young kids enjoy, and much of the quicktime is violent, and I do not recommend it for little ones. Photo Safari is confusing. Reference section is good though. The picutres and quicktime look very realistic and are well done. (Ilene Hoffman) |

Highly recommended for the classroom, because some kids can look at CD without disturbing other kids with monotonous music. Drawbacks: Only contains one puzzle and one dinosaur to make.

| RockN Roll Your Own | A lot of work went into this product. 8 songs are included with music vdeo and graphics.

Somehow theyve designed the software so that no matter how you mix the music loops, the song sounds great! You can also add new voices or sound effects to personalize your music. My 10 yr old was dissapointed by the limited number of songs included, (an odd mix to me), and the fact that you cant create custom music.
