From the Manufacturer --------------------- Sam's bedroom is a mess. Lost among the piles of clothes and toys is his prized comic book. Donning his red cape, Pajama Sam dives into the chaos only to land in a strange and fantastic world that resembles his messy room. Pajama Sam sets off on a series of adventures in search of his lost comic book Ñ looking for lost socks in Agitator Lake, rounding up dust bunnies at the Dust Bunny Corral, exploring the Spilled Soda Swamp and much more. In the end, Sam finds his comic book and realizes that life wouldn't be so rough if he put away his stuff! Throughout the story, kids meet lots of interesting new friends and tackle fun challenges that will inspire them to solve problems in creative ways. Review ------ This year's version of the Middle School Advantage CD bundle once again provides instruction and practice in ten subjects with a variety of different programs that vary in quality (4.2 is a cumulative rating). Typing Instructor is an excellent keyboarding tutorial, U.S. History is a history textbook on CD-ROM (it's read aloud, which is nice), and Advantage Writing and Vocabulary is a dry but useful writing tutorial. Also included are Classic Library (the texts of 2000 unabridged classics, from Shakespeare to Aesop to Dickens), Human 3D (a text, pictorial and animated tour of the human body), The Rosetta Stone v.1.7.7 (an immersive Spanish tutorial) and Basic Math 2 and 3 (a nice geometry and algebra primer, although a little tricky to use). A Microsoft Excel tutorial is tossed in. All things considered, you're getting a lot of solid content for the price, but note that a good deal of the material is most appropriate for eighth grade and beyond.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
