Fans of the popular Franklin book series and award-winning animated television series will also enjoy Franklin the Turtle Goes to School (Scholastic). This adorable, wholesome title is a great introduction to the Kindergarten curriculum and comes with 2 CD-ROM's. The first CD contains the Schoolhouse activities, while the second contains four educational workbooks (for math and language arts), an educational content guide, and a behind-the-scenes look at the creators of the adorable turtle and his upcoming feature film. The Schoolhouse CD contains 8 different goal-oriented activities with 3 different skill levels. Each activity offers kiddos 'schoolbag' rewards for their progress in the different sections, as well as a graduation certificate to print out for the fridge. A Progress Report card is also included so that Mom and Dad can monitor how well little ones are doing. Kindergarten skills- including listening, reading, letter recognition (including uppercase and lowercase letters), math, science, and art-are reviewed. A sing-along and a cool theater activity in which kids can choose their character, the setting, and the play's plot are also included. There's also a section showing kids how to make a cardboard theater, complete with printable coloring pages to make stick puppets of Franklin and his friends to use in the theater. Overall, this piece of software is great for helping young kids develop age-appropriate skills in a fun, cartoon-friendly environment filled with clickable animations and schoolhouse-related activities. Franklin's got enough to keep everyone happy and intrigued for quite some time.
