Blue's pursuit for all that's fit to print takes kids through the library, where they meet up with lots of Blue's pals. Help Green Kitten and other feline friends write and illustrate stories, jump into a dictionary and match missing words to their definitions, or play Word Match with Magenta, Mrs. Salt, and Mr. Pepper. Create your own stories with Fan, or choose from words and pictures to help Blue find missing items. As kids participate in each activity, they earn stories to fill the paper and the newsstand.
The quality of the learning activities is excellent, a smooth introduction to a concept that can often be overwhelming. In addition to reading skills, kids sharpen their memories, vocabularies--even their decision-making skills, by selecting which stories to feature and how the articles should be laid out. The characters are charming, the graphics are sharp and brightly colored to hold kids' attention, and the light dose of humor and bluesy music woven throughout make this program a delight--even for those unfamiliar with the television show that made Blue a star.
There are some extra-nice touches: word cards that sound themselves out when clicked on appear throughout the game, and unlike some children's programs that can leave kids lost with a lack of direction, here kids are prompted with instructions from participating characters if they wait too long to take action. The program even includes a copy of Blue's ABC Time Activities for kids to further hone their language skills. (Ages 3 to 6) --Leah Ball

Customer Reviews of Blue's Reading Time Activities
Excellent game, lots to interest a 3 yr old This is my daughter's favorite CD, she can spend hours playing the different games. Very good for teaching the use of the mouse (make sure you slow the movement down first!)
Some of the games took a while to find so make sure you explore the library well.
Excellent for teaching reading
I used to rate this as four stars but today I had to upgrade it to five. It says it is for children aged three to six but when my daughter was three she didnft enjoy this game nearly as much as the other Blues titles. Of course, she could handle the difficulty level when she was three. She made her own newspapers and won the game when she was three. But now that she is four she just loves it. Her reading skills are much higher and she gets addicted to playing with words. I highly recommend this game for children who are currently interested in simple reading. All the Blues PC titles are worth buying.
Grows with your kids!
In this game, your child and Blue work together to build a newspaper to hang for sale at Steve's newstand. To do this, you must collect six articles, which you do by completing various tasks of widely different skill levels. When we first purchased this game my kids enjoyed the "play" aspects of a few of the challenges. Now that they are older (and learning to read), they can play and understand much more of the game, and are learning as well. The graphics are simple but entirely consistent with the minimalist TV show. The kids loved this game when we first got it and love it now--a span of over 18 months. Astonishing now that I think about it. Highly recommended.
