Enjoyed by all. "I liked the games the best." "It was a lot of fun." Some had technical problems. "We couldn't get the sound right." "I had to quit Adobe and restart. It was okay once I got started." Everyone was spellbound by the wax decorating process.
Charming story, interesting video and fun games. Easily installed and easy to use for most. Entertaining but may not be interactive enough to sustain repeated use. Spurs interest in books and reading. "Wonderful, informative teaching tool."
