    I love the animation/drawing and music, DS7 loves it, too. It's just a question and answer game that covers English, math and science but it reminds me of the illustrations in The Little Prince.

    Questionaut is the game I'm talking about. Didn't realize others would be pulled up, too.

    The art is amazing! DS7 and I had a lot of fun with this and couldn't stop until we hit the end. We loved the little puzzles to get to the questions. Of course, DS got most of the puzzles. Thanks!

    I got stuck for a while on the animal level, but finally got past it and finished the whole thing. (And boy, do I need work on my x,y coordinates!)

    I can't wait to show this to DS6! So much fun! Thanks, questions! laugh

    Ania, I think the problem is you're too old!!!! LOL! You just have to keep moving the mouse around until you find something that turns into the hand and click (assuming you're windows/vista OS) and then you just keep looking, looking, looking until you find something else, until finally you get the questions. Then you keep answering until the balloon fills up and you can go to the next level.

    We tried some of the phonics/spelling games, too, but they're too difficult for us to understand with that English accent. Cut sounds like cot, etc., so DS kept spelling the words wrong. And you can tell the British don't have the American sensibilities on the spelling game with the smoke signals...

    On a side note about the British thing: DS6 is really loving the British Scholastic books we've got (The Knowledge series, Horrible Histories series, Murderous Maths series, the Jiggy McCue series...We have a lot of them!). He's learning all sorts of odd British-isms that most American 6yos wouldn't know. It's a weird little side effect!

    Luckily I know what most of them mean and can "translate" for him. It's nice that my semester abroad in England was for some good purpose! wink
