Reviews

Far more than a list of recommended computer games, KidWare contains advice for parents on purchasing or upgrading a computer system and on selecting computer programs that will challenge young users and make the best use of the medium. The reviews are organized by topical chapters, such as Math and Science, Thinking Games, Creative Play, Reading, and Reference Tools. Accompanying each program description is some basic playing advice and, occasionally, a Tips for Use section. One obvious disadvantage to this guide is that new programs regularly appear, but by following the authors' basic guidelines and taking note of which company produces the programs that suit a family's needs, new choices can be intelligently made.
