"I spy.." – so begins the riddle-rhymes of Jean’s
popular children’s books. This updated version of I Spy on
CD-ROM
features "pages" of virtual treasure hunts.
Kids search
for objects according to rhyming clues, many of which are somewhat
cryptic, in screens filled with photo objects that are generally
school-themed. At the same time, they exercise both visual and
language arts skills. Other activities include sorting objects
into Venn-diagram-like Oops Hoops, and an innovative Make
Your Own I Spy game for creative sorts.
Though there is little
here that is obviously academic, this program’s educational
content is first-rate.
Parents, teachers, and children will be equally pleased.
