An excellent first software that relies on real photographs and photographic animation to present young users with plenty of vocabulary words, foreign language exposure, as well as the teaching of other basic concepts. A must-buy for parents of babies and toddlers. All of these things have been touted as very important in the development of intelligence in children. Babies and toddlers need only tap any key on the keyboard or click the mouse randomly to get a reaction from the computer.
Parents can easily choose a language from the menu.
Included are English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Portuguese. Any click of the mouse or tap on the keyboard brings up a photograph from a library of over 250 words and phrases in 8 different languages. Hands appear on the screen and then open to reveal a photograph of mostly animal faces and a baby's face as well. Pictured at left is a bumblebee moving to the front of and behind the flower. Above, flowers are counted aloud as they show up one by one on the screen.
