Elmo's ABCsReviewed by Cynthia A. SorrelsPublished by NewKidCo Platform: Game Boy Color ESRB Rating: EC - Early Childhood
While there is music, there are no spoken words, no oral instructions and no written screen instructions. Verbal reinforcement in word games is quite important, especially in the presentation of games involving phonics. The game is not difficult to figure out but small children may become frustrated and quit. If you're going on a plane or car trip, this could be a good solution for children, especially if they're out of school and worried about falling behind. However, the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) for this program is $29.99, which seems quite steep considering that PC CD-ROMS featuring Elmo have much more to offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||
