Berenstain Bears: Little Bears are Scaredy Bears - PC Games

The tone of the software--similar to the series--is something we liked a great deal. For example, the bears are a terrifically supportive family, and no one is ever made fun of or made to feel "babyish" for being afraid. The activities are varied and interesting: there's a complex puzzle to solve, a mask-making craft section, and a goofy arcade game. Inside each story are clickable treats, making each tale an interactive adventure.

Helping Brother Bear practice his xylophone before the big show is a lot of fun and shows touches of great game design: the creators managed to work in a "shape and color matching" activity at the same time. Happily, all the activities have two-player options and adjustable skill levels for parents or older siblings who might want to join in.

Imaginative kindergartners are sure to benefit from the fear-facing focus of this disk, and with the Berenstain family around, overcoming fright becomes a remarkably easy thing to accomplish. --Jill Lightner
