My sister is barely learning to use the mouse, let alone click. This is a great site with simple games that are suprisingly interesting. The best thing I like about it is that there are no instructions, yet you can still understand what to do. The simplicity and colorfulness is absolutely amazing.

What Parents Need to Know
About PoissonRouge
Parents need to know that this sublime educational site geared to very young kids is beautiful, even though it doesn't have a lot of flashy computer tricks or complex plots. Even kids just learning how to use a mouse will be able to navigate easily through the various-leveled games and activities -- although parents will want to sit along side to explain things as they go along. The site is commercial-free, and the closest thing to an ad is a link to buy a T-shirt to help support the site.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about cause and effect. The site is designed so kids can plainly see how by clicking on an image something will happen. To take this lesson outside of cyberspace, parents can ask kids to find ways they can do these tasks in real life. Like what happens when you bang on a drum hard and what happens when you hit it softly?
