Proxy Parent Value<br />

Proxy Parent Value is SuperKids' measure of how well a program captures <strong>and</strong> holds a child's interest. Pajama<br />

Sam scored well <strong>with</strong> the older children in our review group, 8 to 12 year-olds. "My two daughters (11 <strong>and</strong> 9) have<br />

been fascinated <strong>with</strong> the program <strong>and</strong> can't seem to quit," wrote one parent. Unfortunately, those children are<br />

older than the age range suggested by the publisher (3 to 8). In the recommended age group, the kids required<br />

much more h<strong>and</strong>s on assistance by a parent. Another noted that, "I would really like to recommend Pajama Sam<br />

because I personally liked it immensely - but I think it is out of synch <strong>with</strong> its target audience."<br />

Best for...<br />

This program is best suited for an inquisitive child - who won't give up easily! And because of the long playing<br />

time required to achieve Sam's objective, it is far better suited for home, rather than school use.<br />

Bottom-Line<br />

Pajama Sam is a graphically beautiful program, <strong>with</strong> true cartoon quality animation. The problem solving skills<br />

required are excellent exercises in critical thinking - but for the older end of the recommended age spectrum, <strong>and</strong><br />

beyond.<br />
