Description:

The Fisher-Price Ready for School Toddler has been carefully designed for boys and girls, using the Little People set of toys the company produces. There are ten activities, and each one has two levels of difficulty - the innovative thing here is that the levels are distinctly different from each other. In Level One, any click of the mouse brings some reaction from the characters. Level Two is more complex and includes a coloring book, ABC's in animal voices and lots more.

Features:

• Hide and Seek,
• Big and Small Bubbles
• Nursery Rhymes
• Animals on Parade
• Shapes and Colors
• ABC's
• Bodies in Motion
• My First Things
• Telephone Talk

Reactions:

My kids love the music in the Nursery Rhymes because they can add their own sound effects by clicking on the various buttons during the song. POWER! They also liked the Telephone Talk but were disappointed that they couldn't pick up the phone on the screen.

The second CD-ROM with this title is the Fisher-Price Parenting Guide, an excellent resource that tracks a child's developments and includes many answers to important questions. There are 1,200 articles and an interactive medical guide, a very useful item.
