 Great Fun and Learning! February 17, 2005

I bought this for my daughter when she turned 4 as she was already starting to learn to read. It took her a little while to follow the story and find the clues (I helped her with that). Once she had that figured out, it became her favorite computer game. She loves all the games, they were challenging but not too difficult for her on level 1 (there are 5 or 6 levels as I recall). She has since moved on to more difficult levels and still really enjoys it 1.5 years later. If your child is great at exploring computer programs and seeking for objects and clues this is an excellent reading program that won't bore them. If your child doesn't enjoy the "search," the games are still very much worth the money. I should also mention that the little cd-rom book that comes with it tells you exactly where to find everything for those who get frustrated with the search.
Finally, my daughter can read! August 12, 2005

Finally, a program that caters to girls instead of just boys. Well, boys can play this too, but i find it very female friendly. My daugthers love it and fight over who gets to use it. My littlest is really shy and was having problems in kindergarten and afraid to ask for help. Now, she is starting to get the hang of spelling and feels so confident about it and always wants to play with Mia. We tried reader rabbit kindergarten as well but I found it wasn't effective as it didn't keep her attention long enough to start understanding the educational concepts. I will definitely recommend this for all parents who want to reinforce the basics of reading and writing.

this item was bought for a friend's grandaughter after purchasing the math software of the same character. Her reading level has improved since using this program. We're hoping more of Mia's software will be available for other subjects. I recommend the Mia series for young children to help them increase their reading and math skills.
more like going to a movie than playing a video game. January 29, 2008

Definitely a game you have to help younger kids with. Adventurous and realistic, good graphics, my four year old stayed up way past bedtime to find the remedy so grandma would get better. She is five now and I still have to help her, but, this is a game a child can grow with. Mia the mouse is adorable in this engaging story. Some teaching of reading but more abstract problem solving, detective work, and searching for clues. Good game for a slow paced Sunday afternoon.
Love it February 8, 2007
