I recently received literature on a computer learning software library,for kids,
called MICROZINE, which is sold by a company named Scholastic.
The literature they sent is full of sales hype and pretty brochures, which makes
me kind of suspicious, but the price and concept seem attractive. 
I would like to buy it for my 6 1/2 years old daughter. She is pretty advanced
for her age group and enjoys learning a whole lot.
I wonder how many of you out there have bought this software, and what are your
impressions on it. Is it a good value ?. Would you, or your young one, recomend
it to others ?. Does it emphasize entertaining more than teaching and informing?
I would greatly appreciate any experienced input on this matter.

		   
			    Thanks in advanced,  BIG DAVE.
