A Scrumptious Treat
From the wonderful imagination of David Kirk
Miss Spider's Tea Party invites children 3 to 7 years old to
enter David Kirk's world of color and wonder. Eight games provide hours of fun
with a healthy serving of age-appropriate basic skills practice. Miss Spider's
friends want to attend her party, but they each have a problem that needs to be
resolved. It's up to the child to play the games and help all the friends make
it to the party.
When the child succeeds at all eight games, Miss Spider
thanks the player warmly with a sweet invitation of their own - something to
print and cherish. Each game has an easy, medium and difficult level to
challenge all of Miss Spider's fans. With lots of beautiful 3D images and
animation, the CD-ROM captures the unique look and feel of the book and will
surely broaden and enhance your child's relationship with Miss Spider and her
friends.
The Games include:
The Beetles River Cross Game
The Beetles want to
attend Miss Spider's party, but they have a wide river to cross. Can you help
them get from shore to shore? It's fun - just jump from rock to leaf to tadpole
to branch. But don't fall in the water or you'll have to start over!
 The Hiding Butterfly
Game
The Butterflies want to attend Miss Spider's party, but they must
find all their friends. The colorful Butterflies are cleverly hiding in several
scenes. Can you find them all so they can come to the party?
The Bee Flower Matching Game
The Bees want to
attend Miss Spider's party, but they have to pollinate flowers. Each Bee has a
flower in mind. Can you choose the ones they're thinking of so they can finish
up and head to the party?
The Crickets Band Game
The Crickets want to
attend Miss Spider's party, but they need to form a band. Can you match each
musical sound with its instrument? Match the whole band and they'll play you a
wonderful tune!

"At first, I wondered if this program would appeal to boys
but my own 5 year old put that fear to rest. He immediately recognized the
program from the book and was excited to help Miss Spider's friends go to the
tea party. The games were challenging but not overwhelming, and he completed
the first level in about an hour. Today he's been working on the second level -
because he *wants* to! That's the best sort of software around. "

"Through eight lively games, youngsters help their favorite
arachnid pull off the dandiest of teas. Clever activities will engage kids ages
3 to 7 as they help Miss Spider's friends -- beetles, crickets, fireflies,
ladybugs, bees and butterflies -- overcome obstacles to join her at the big
party. Gorgeous animation and rich 3-D graphics bring this gem to life while
staying true to the flavor of the book's artwork. A steal of a price and must
for the reader on your list who also enjoys computer time."
 Pittsburg Post-Gazette,

"Miss Spider's Tea Party" is what every educational disc
should aspire to be. Vividly drawn from the best-selling books by David Kirk,
Miss Spider asks for a lot of help from the user to gather guests for a tea
party. Each problem solved brings more wild bug friends to the table. The
problems, of course, are entertaining games withn the game that teach simple
math and reading lessons, with gentle Miss Spider offering her hints or
encouragement along the way. This continues to be a preschool favorite.****
