This title is carefully crafted to appeal to kids while teaching mathematical concepts. Getting kids off to an early start with math is essential, and Edmark has found a good balance between fun, drills, and learning. The characters are cute and friendly - they guide children through each activity with lots of encouragement. Edmark has improved the interface it uses, and we found no technical problems anywhere in the program.
