Dinosaurs are always a popular subect with younger children and so you should have no trouble interesting them in this program from Selective Software.

The story revolves around Cuthbert - a green and cuddly brontosaurus. Cuthbert has caught a cold; to cure him it is necessary to find some magic fruit. The three parts of the adventure each require different skills. The first part is to find the wizard who will help you in your quest. You then visit Rhymeland and finally go to Playland to meet the Queen of Hearts. As well as the adventure disc, there is a disc containing two cartoon stories and a selection of tunes. The story disc was impressive - Selective has used Movie Maker for the graphics, and the result is excellent.

The package comes with a storybook and a teacher's manual with suggestions for follow-up activities. There are activity cards and Concept Keyboard overlays for use in the classroom - a comprehensive package.

One problem in many primary schools is the lack of contact time, but Cuthbert has lots of suggestions for activities that can be done away from the computer. This is an excellent program. Congratulations, Selective, on a well thought out, very professionally produced pack that will stimulate lots of back-up work.
