Customer Reviews

One of the few CD Rom's that really is suitable for this age group
I bought this title originally over 10 years ago for my eldest daughter and have just bought it again to get a copy more suited to Windows XP - it really is that good, and it is the only CD Rom I have found that I would think is truly suitable for young children. We have had others that have just been too difficult without a lot of help, either with the activity or with the necessary mouse skills. In Jump Ahead the activities are simple enough to enable 3-4 year olds to be able to tackle them as well as having to learn to use the mouse. The items to click on are suitably large and well defined. The activities are challenging enough without being too difficult. The instructions are clearly said. (though be warned, the tunes may stick in your head!) The whole Jump Ahead series is brilliant, and I thoroughly recommend this as an introduction to using a computer.

Great buy
My daughter is 3 and just loves this, she knows most of the words and sits for as long as we'll allow switching from task to task.

Excellent game for kids
My little girl has had this for a year nearly now, and still returns to it every so often. That alone should make it five stars as far as any parent is concerned!

The games are educational, and fun too! A lot of them have to be discovered in order to play, so my daughter liked going around clicking things to see what would happen.

There are also nice touches, like the interactive backgrounds. For instance, click the flowers and they will laugh and giggle.

Over all a nice, fun game for little ones, who will enjoy playing it and learn at the same time.
