- An especially cute game we have is by Sierra, called Mixed Up
- Mother Goose, great animation. Various characters from the
- nursery rhymes are moved through different scenes with a mouse or
- arrow keys, and for instance, when the player helps Mary find her
- lamb, the corresponding nursery rhyme is played, with the words
- shown, and the rhyme is acted out. So on with Jack (be nimble),
- Jack Sprat, Jack and Jill, Old King Cole, and about 10 others.
- I'd say it's most suitable for kids aged 2-4, although those who
- are younger and haven't quite figured out how to work a mouse will
- love to watch while their parents play it.
