My 4-year-old was captivated and learning for hours! It was like being a part of an interactive, animated feature film. The animation and storyline is incredibly enthralling (even for adults). It's a cleverly designed learning adventure that brings new meaning to the term "edutainment." The graphics are first-rate, but more importantly the lessons learned and skills bestowed are not only perfectly age-appropriate, they are foundational skills that will last a lifetime. The lessons (sequencing, sorting, spatial reasoning, tracing, counting, color recognition, matching, observation, following directions, even some astronomy, and much more) are delivered in such a way that the child doesn't even know they are learning. The behaviors encouraged (patience, following your dreams, cooperation/sharing, etc.) promote successful lifelong learning. This is the best app I have ever reviewed.

The Parent's Pad does an excellent job of showing each user's progress. It breaks down the progress by key topics covered, core skills, and even shows a timeline of the activities completed along with the learning milestones achieved.
