Description:

Frankie the Dog has a BIG problem and needs your help! He's run out of doggie biscuits and needs assistance going through three different worlds to get more. He's been whining a LOT, and it's in your best interests to get the show on the road!

Features:

  • Familiar character - Frankie the Dog.
  • Three worlds filled with arcade-style games.
  • Drills in addition, subtraction, sequences, counting.

Technical Aspects:

We had no problems at any time when running this program. The video sequences are all smooth and there was no choppiness in audio clips, either. The graphics are all cartoon style, which fits in well with Frankie's worlds.

Report and Conclusions:

This program is a lot of fun! My kids were giggling as they blasted asteroids, visited Bone-anza and collected dog biscuits. They hardly even noticed they were learning as they played! This is a great supplement to the school or homeschool curriculums.
