It is an easy game, but there is some reading (scripted rather than spoken) to it. Hard to say since every child is different....other Listians have thoughts? I know 6 year olds and 7 year olds who like it a lot!!
I would say if your 5 yr is already into gaming pnm2001 and has a pretty good knowledge of reading they should be ok, you might just have to help to get her on her way. My dds are 7 and 10 and I swear even they have taught me tricks about my laptop ive been using for the last 5 yrs. I tell ya technology is what the future will be all about. Fanned n Watchin!!
