Parents need to know that while the lead character, Strawberry Shortcake, will appeal more to girls than boys, both genders will find this puzzle game fun to explore. There is no violence, but some may not like that this world is created with unhealthy sweets. However, those sweets provide an engaging backdrop for the logic puzzles. Most of the puzzles are right on target for ages 4 to 7, but one is too much of a reach because it requires that kids know how to add and subtract.
Educational value:The puzzles are good at teaching logical thinking.
Positive messages:Strawberry Shortcake spends the whole time helping her friends.
