Amazon.co.uk Review
IRainbow Fish and the Whale/I is a fine example of an enjoyable interactive storybook that combines fun and education. Based on the bestselling Dorling Kindersley children's books about Rainbow Fish, the package is aimed at children aged 3-7 years. There are two difficulty levels, offering challenges for different age groups: easy for 3-6 year-olds, and hard for 6-7 year olds.p Rainbow Fish is playing in the ocean when Hermit the Crab alerts him to the fact that all their fishy friends have been swallowed by a Whale. Soon, though, they are swallowed and find themselves in the whale's stomach. How are they to escape? Children will love to take part in this interactive, animated adventure that will help them learn songs and sing along, play action games, match colours and solve puzzles, unravel secret codes, and depending on the moves they make, determine how the story will end. Best of all, those held captive inside the whale are eventually released.p While all the enjoyment is taking place, children are acquiring essential early learning skills: colour recognition and sorting, problem solving, listening skills, hand-to-eye coordination, logical thinking, basic mouse and PC skills, and many more. IRainbow Fish and the Whale/I is an excellently produced package that is faithful to the graphics and tone of the original stories. The program is easy to load and instructions are included on the CD-Rom. The package maintains the high quality you would expect from Dorling Kindersley, and is guaranteed to give hours of fun combined with learning, whether or not players are familiar with the Rainbow Fish books. --ISusan Naylor/I

Rainbow Fish and the whale
This game is great fun and both my children (3 6) enjoy playing it. The story is exciting and there is lots of interaction. Beautiful graphics and good sound effects makes this a very enjoyable game.

Disappointed
Disappointed that although the game has two difficulty levels, the easier one seems to achieve this by jumping the harder scenes, which is confusing. Additionally, even at the easier level I wouldn't expect a three year old to be able to follow much of the problem solving; four would be a better minimum.pThe package does not contain any details on how to play the game, and if you can't figure some of it out then a good "walk-through" and basic guide are available from the publisher's web site as an FAQ.pFinally, the American ascents through-out get a little annoying after a while.
