"Animated Money is a program for teaching coin recognition and math skills.
U.S. and Canadian versions of the coins can be chosen.  The coins used in the
program are photo-graphically scanned in, so they appear very realistic (and
recognizable).  There are three types of games.  First, a money recognition game
where the child matches the coin to it's amount, both the front and back of the
coins are used.  The other two games have levels of difficulty that can be
adjusted to the child's needs.  One game has the child match a group of coins to
it's amount (2 dimes and a nickel matched to 25 cents), the other game matches
equivalent groups of coins (2 dimes and a nicel matched to 1 dime, 2 nickels and
five pennies, for instance).  Context sensitive help is available."

"Balloon Speller is a program for home or school.  You can play three different
spelling games using lists of words you input or any of the 70 built-in lists.
In each game, you move an hot air balloon around the screen picking up the
letters you need.  In "Word Flash", the word to be spelled is flashed to you and
then you spell the word.  In "Word Jumble", the letters of the word are
scattered around -- you pick them up in proper order.  And, in "Word Guess", you
guess the letters in the word to be spelled (an Hangman type game).

Includes 18 nursery rhymes where the central character is missing some important
part of the rhyme.  For example, Little Bo Peep is missing her sheep, Jack Be
Nimble is missing his candlestick, Peter Pumpkin Eater is missing his wife, etc.
 The child must explore Mother Goose Land and return all the missing items to
their correct places.  When you meet a character needing an item, it's name and
picture are shown on the screen.  When an item is returned correctly, the
associated nursery rhyme plays.  A map is provided and all but one of the items
changes it's location from game to game.

Children become the "hands of the animator" to help Peter defeat Captain Hook.
With the aid of the Paintbox Pals, a set of animated paint tools, children
actually affect events in the story, while expanding reading, decision-making
and story-telling skills.  Whenever Peter gets in trouble, the child has several
options to resolve the problem using a paint sprayer, a paintbrush, an eraser,
and a pencil.  The child can skip to any scene in the story, or repeat a scene
and choose a different solution.  Although the box suggests ages 5-9, kids 3-4
will also enjoy this game.

Stresses reading for a purpose as it builds such skills as letter and word

V"Two or three players assume the role of an animated pirate character.  The
object: have the most gold doubloons at the end of the game!  Redhook's Revenge
was inspired by the classic board games, RISK, MONOPOLY, LIFE, and TRIVIAL
PURSUIT and took many of its ideas from the classic novel Treasure Island.  Play
is simple: roll the dice and see whether you fight a city, discover treasure,
get lost in a storm, visit the Mermaid Isles, take another turn, answer a trivia
question, buy a cannon, etc.  Compete against other players or play against the
computer.  Redhook's witty pirate sayings, professional artwork, historical
trivia, and theme music entertain you for hours!."

Using a discovery and exploration model, it exposes students to a wide range of

correctly answer 10 questions to advance.  jumping to a question mark revels a
word; the child must then find and jump to the corresponding picture before
revealing another word.  If you make a mistake, a "gruzzle" appears which must
be eliminated before it gets you; also includes several hazardous areas where
you can die, but not too hard to avoid.  Joystick recommended.  Younger kids

V"Kids everywhere love animals!  With Davidson's Zoo Keeper, children will have
endless hours of fun learning about all sorts of wild and wonderful animals.
They'll learn about what these animals look like, where they live, and what they
eat, and will even be able to explore their individual habitats.  This amazing
game features real-life photos courtesy of ZooLife Magazine, animal sounds, and
animations that will capture the imagination of all who play.  And by helping
release animals back to the wild, children will also gain an understanding of
the important role we all must play in protecting our animal friends."
