Scholastic has great kid-sense and the user interface shows that, with nice, forgiving touches. Games for individual players are saved automatically, for example, which means a designer remembered that sometimes kids rushing from one activity to another don't always follow directions. The entire software experience is enriched with appropriate sound effects and background music that should keep kids interested. System requirements for both the Mac and PC are modest. For the Mac a PowerPC at 75 megahertz and System 7.5.5 or later, with the same RAM, monitor and hard disk requirements as the PC version.
Scholastic products are widely available at retail.
