Author's Review
This was a big hit before we even installed it. My children love Arthur and remember this episode quite well. At first the game was a little slow but once my three year old figured it out (and taught mommy how to use it) it became a quick favorite. There are many options you can choose from in the opening screen. One option is to become part of the interactive story and be a part of Arthur's adventure. My daughter's favorite option is the five learning activities. She loves D.W. Store where she is learning math skills. She chooses a toy to 'dress' and has to buy each piece of clothing. To earn money she must go to the cafe and cook. She measures the ingredients and then decides what item she can then afford. GREAT Math Builder!
The list of skills developed:
*Reading
*Vocabulary
*Math
