Made to resemble a mini iMac, this "pretend" PC offers 40 activities, that, among other things, helps children build math and language skills. Skills addressed include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, vocabulary, spelling, synonyms and antonyms. There are also plenty of just-for-fun arcade-style games. All activities are displayed on a small (hard to see) LCD screen, and unfortunately, the display's large "pixels" sometimes make it difficult to interpret the picture. It's not always clear how to play each activity, and help is in short supply. Still, the toy offers lots to do, and children were intrigued. Its three skill levels make it nice for a wide range of abilities. Kids also liked the toy's appearance and enjoyed using the keyboard and mouse to make things happen.
