As pert and charming as ever, the world-famous French schoolgirl leads beginning school students on an exploration of some of the key components of first- and second-grade education--all within the context of an afternoon adventure in colorful, bustling Paris. Players meet up with Madeline on a crowded Parisian street corner, where bold street signs entice players to visit a half-dozen different businesses along the road. Primed to follow you wherever you choose to go, Madeline introduces you to such popular destinations as La Librarie (reading), La Papeteria (language arts), La Fantastique Madeline Magic Show (science), La Bureau de Poste (counting and addition), L'Ecole (sets and subsets), Sidewalk Games (addition and subtraction), and La Kiosque (all skills). For sheer entertainment, Le Theatre plays three video clips with bouncy songs, and the Art Studio offers a chance to color in predrawn scenes (and add text!) or create your own from scratch. Based in English, this CD-ROM also includes gentle, natural sprinklings of written and spoken French throughout. The attention to detail in Madeline Classroom Companion is excellent: letters that are typed click noisily; Madeline performs a coy curtsey--and her hat tail flies--whenever she says goodbye; surprise, sublime clickables lie hidden amongst the street scene. The CD-ROM exudes knowledge of a child's world and wishes--from candy stars, to movies, to jewelry beads. By featuring both math and reading skills in this two-disc set, the Creative Wonders team has provided a rich variety package of 50 activities to engage a broad range of students. (Ages 6 to 9) --Jean Lenihan

Madeline, zee little French girl avec zee big accent, makes the move from print to disc with this two-CD-ROM activity set for first and second graders. You'll play with postcards at the stationery store, watch animated shorts at the cinema, send postcards at the post office (but only after figuring out the correct postage), and sort shapes at the play school, to name just a few of Madeline's pastimes. The more you do, the closer you get to taking home your medal, which comes in three classic metals: bronze, silver, and gold. Second graders get more of the same but with slightly harder levels.

Likes: "I liked that they had three different levels to play at. I also liked that they had a different variety of games to play." Amanda "I liked how you had to get something like the medals. My sister, who is five, really liked it." Jonathon

Dislikes: "I didn't like how you had to wait a long time for things to happen." Bruno "I didn't like the games because they were boring." Traci "I didn't like how in the theater they sang in every movie." Justin
