    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Software We Own
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2011
    My three-year-old loves it! We have several other popular software titles as well, including Reader Rabbit, Disney, Jump Start and Sesame Street but she likes Charlie best. She is completely engaged and enthralled with the software. I like that there is good Bible teaching without being preachy. With the preschool package, her favorite activity is searching for the lost coin. In the kindergarten, she likes visiting the neighbors to collect jars for oil and locating and measuring ingredients for Queen Esther to bake different pastries. In the early elementary, she loves going through the marketplace searching for the pearl of great price and counting out money for various items. The activities are more "real-world" than I have seen in other software: like looking on a shelf for something, counting money and measuring ingredients rather than having baby animals pop out of picnic baskets. The animation is far from Pixar, but my kid doesn't seem to care a bit. Each package has six different activities that can be leveled to be more challenging. There is enough that my three-year-old is engaged now, and plenty that is advanced for her that she will be growing into later. I love it and highly recommend - so much that this is the first review that I have written.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Charlie Church Mouse Needs to Go Back to School
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2011
    I should have known I was in trouble with this one when my ten-year-old looked at the package and asked, "If it's educational software, why did they misspell 'Pack?'" Indeed.

    I loaded the software and sampled a few of the games. Each disk has half a dozen Bible stories that begin with a short animation, followed by an educational game. If the misspelled title was a clue, the story of Ruth should have been a bigger one. Naomi is wearing glasses, and Ruth gleans in a field with tractors. Tractors? Shape-sorting and counting exercises may be educational, but the carelessly anachronistic portrayal of the various Bible stories (one Bible character works in a full modern kitchen, complete with refrigerator) really concerns me. My younger daughter might get some sorting and matching practice, but is she also going to come away from this software thinking that Persian soldiers dressed in Roman-style armor of a much later era?

    As it turned out, I don't think it is going to be much of a problem after all, because my developmentally delayed 8-year-old, who struggles with the JumpStart software that's pitched for the same level, breezed through all three of these disks in about three hours' time. One day, and she's already finished with this one.

    In summary: carelessly anachronistic animations of Bible stories, and educational games that are insufficiently challenging. Charlie Church Mouse needs to go back to school, and parents should skip this one and buy the JumpStart software instead.

    This is a great, non-internet way to learn Bible stories as well as mouse control and hand-eye co-ordination. My three year old loves it.

    Good for the price. Old fashioned programing style. More like my children used. I bought it for my grandchild. She does like it, but goes for the flasher programs she owns first.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent in Every Way!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2011
    I got this product for my preschool to help reinforce Bible stories to those who do not hear them at home or church. It has done just that! The stories are accurate, short, repetative and entertaining. The games that are aligned with them are very fun and educational. My students love this!! The levels of play can be increased based on their knowledge. Great value too! I'd get all 3 games, even if you have a preschooler!

    4.0 out of 5 stars My 3 Year Old Likes It
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2013
    This is a cd with 3 different programs for differing age levels. You have to install each one. One cd total. The graphics are quite old looking and as some of the other reviewers have mentioned that some of the things included in the stories like race cars didn't exactly happen in the bible. My son enjoys it and has already mastered the puzzles for the days of creation and enjoys doing the tasks that go with many of the parables included. He now knows several parables which is nice. The fact that the graphics are older looking actually don't bother me at all. I think that everything is so flashy and fast these days that kids don't have to imagine anymore bc it's already done for them by the show or game. Overall I think it is great and we are learning.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Bible for preschoolers
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013
    It is the best Bible game available for young children. It's pretty good. Sadly, like most Bible games, it's not as well developed as secular games. I would, however, definitely recommend this. The church needs to encourage Christian computer programmers to get into the gaming field. We are so behind in this aspect, and there are so many awesome Bible stories that could be developed into games. It's not blasphemy, it's an open ministry.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2011
    My 3 year old can navigate this game very easily. It's a great way for him to learn more about the Bible stories as well as a good teaching tool for numbers, colors and other preschool skills. He hasn't played many computer games in the past, but the first day he played it, he told me "I could play this all day!". Of course, being the mom that I am, he did not play ALL day, but he does enjoy the games.
