Most of the games are the same between 1, 2, and 3 - only the stories change. You can't save anything from session to session. She is not thrown off by the inappropriate asian symbols that are sprinkled throughout, or oddly-placed back/next buttons, though I wondered why these things weren't fixed when they localized for the US market.

My 4-year-old loves the coloring book and free-coloring - these features sold me on the first Interactive Storybook when she was 3. The music portion is bland but she likes it and just figured out how to record a song and play it back. One of her favorite games is the counting game - she figured out how to do this early and still loves it.

However, the stories included in this title are NOT APPROPRIATE for 3-5 year olds. She played with this game and then had a bunch of questions about death - when would our dog die, was grandpa sick, why don't we feed hungry people. I was horrified to realize the story "The Dog from Bruges" (or similiar title) was a story about a starving boy whose dog, grandfather, and finally himself dies from hunger - yet he is somehow happy to die in front of his favorite piece of art. Bizarre. I've never heard this story before, and never will again, as I have disposed of this one. Buy one of the other Interactive Storybooks, which both have good stories and the same games as this one.

I bought this game for my three year old because it said for ages 3-6. She enjoyed the coloring and the piano. But I was highly upset when she listened to a story on it about a dog being killed and buried by a mean man! I can't believe they are selling this game for preschoolers! I took it back to Best Buy and they had no clue about the story. Beware!
