 My nephew LOVED this CD!Jul 06, 2007

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 10 year old nephew. My sister says he used it for hours the first night he got it and it's still holding his interest weeks later.

 Dull InterfaceDec 28, 2010
By Edward Carreon
I bought the software for my extremely bright 8 year old daughter and found it little better than reading Wikipedia. Perhaps it might be more appropriate for an older kid who was already had a passion for engineering but if you are trying to inspire your child's interest in the world then don't waste his or her time. This is not a very good product.
The visuals are small and interactivity is minimal; and yes I do think I could have done a better job.
I found the most recent version of "Amazing Body" a much better buy. It is interactive and requires engagement from the child. Way better visuals and interface as well.
