              updated program for preschoolers features a wonderful little story
              line that will capture the attention of both kids and their
              parents alike. Children follow the bewildered bear through Hundred
              Acre Wood as he informs all of his friends that they need to
              prepare for Eeyore's surprise birthday party. Each friend needs
              some help in the preparations -- Piglet needs help with his
              pictures, and Kanga needs to make alphabet soup for the party, for
              example. Children lend a hand, and engage in early-learning
              activities to do so. Some of these are a little challenging for a
              typical preschooler to master, however. With a little help from
              parents or older siblings, kids will learn and develop some
              important skills. Both lower- and uppercase letters are featured
              in one activity, and sorting skills are required for
              another. 
              
 An all-new activity introduces
              children to some basic foreign language vocabulary. Parents can
              choose whether they want this language to be French or
              Spanish.  
              Children who love to get involved
              in a story will enjoy the game. Note that the program is probably
              best for advanced preschoolers or children just entering
              Kindergarten.
