My son grew bored after three stories because each story starts out the same, so it s basically the same tale, only Roberto goes about different ways of getting to play in the pool with the other hippos, which he always does. That might be a bit overly critcal. It depends on what you expect to get out of it. I could see that my son felt pride of ownership toward the first story he created and printed. The suggested ages seem appropriate, but a six year old might become bored pretty quickly, on the other hand, I think it's perfect for a three year old, or even younger, because it's so straight forward and easy to navigate.
Youngsters just learning to use the mouse can develop their coordination with a game of hippo ball.
I d give it an overall rating of 3. This CD gives kids lots of opportunities to print their work, so it's probably a good idea to make sure the printer is set up correctly and turned on, etc. It prints out very nice coloring books with the entire text of the story you create.
