Reactions:

Our 3 year old has really enjoyed playing this title and interfered with me every time I put it on to evaluate! "Mom, will you PLEASE get off the 'puter so I can do my work?" Her favorite character was Penelope, a pony. She also liked the Cookie Game. I was impressed by the ORIGINAL games! The only coloring book you'll find here is the printed/printable activity book. There's LOTS of music and it's all well done. Additionally, the title ran on less than the stated requirements.
