The Review Zone by Tina Velgos

"Kids don't need to get packed to take a trip to all 50 states! Definitely, USA Explorer is one the best interactive geography software titles we've seen for kids ages 5 through 9."

"Very challenging at either of the two levels, kids trek across the States while listening to instructions and clues. This is one of the best ways for geographically challenged kids (and their parents) to tune up their directional skills! It's fun to open up envelopes, write postcards from historic places and listen to authentic music when you're visiting different regions of the country. Kids earn gold medals and collect stickers while answering the right questions (testing their comprehension skills).

"Certainly, USA Explorer would be a hit in the classroom as well as at home. It's among The REVIEW ZONE's Best of 2000 winners. And definitely, one of the best ways to learn about the United States, if you can't travel all 50 states at once!"
