An excellent value, this is a bundle of 11 previously released programs meant to cover a wide range of school subjects. Included are EasyBook Deluxe, SuperSolvers Spellbound, Type for Fun, SuperSolvers Reading Ages 9-12, Oregon Trail, Awesome Animated Monster Maker Number Drop, Word Munchers Deluxe, Fraction Attraction, The Way Things Work 2.0, My First Amazing World Explorer and the Simon & Schuster's New Millennium Children's Encyclopedia. Several of these programs are excellent, for instance, The Way Things Work 2.0, which teaches about simple machines and other science-related concepts, and World Explorer, which playfully introduces geography. Some of the titles are dated, but all provide solid skill practice. This would make a terrific addition to both home and school software libraries.
