Any Little League fan is sure to enjoy Backyard Baseball, one of the first children's sports games that combines the performance of a grown-ups' game with the splash, colors, and difficulty levels of a kids' title.
Kids can set up their teams, picking players, team names, and uniforms.
Once they're out on one of the ten realistic and charming fields, kids can choose their plays, pitches, and swings. There are many preschool titles available today, but few are as entertaining as Big Thinkers Kindergarten. The title includes 16 activities and teaches 14 different kinds of skills, including the alphabet, music and art creativity, basic math and measurement, time telling, and spatial perception. Other lessons include one that helps kids learn environmental science and why it's important to recycle. The latest title in Broderbund Software's Living Books line, The Cat in the Hat will provide hours of fun.
