common sense media says

Interactive stories and games are full of treats.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that these cute, educational Halloween pages don't have anything that's not OK for kids. The games are simple enough, but young kids may need parents to read them the interactive stories.

Educational value: The Halloween-inspired interactive stories on the site are engaging and age-appropriate. Many kids may find that most of the games are too simplistic to play for long, as many are limited to "move the mouse to see a character appear."
Positive messages: Keeps Halloween fun and light on the spook factor. Encourages kids to make choices within some of the stories.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: The store is advertised: "This illustration is available on T-shirts and other items in the Meddybemps.com Apparel Collection. Lots of designs, colors and sizes to choose from" appeared underneath one page of an online book. There are also sponsored sites for special sections of Meddybemps.com like the Halloween pages, which are sponsored by an online costume shop and ebay.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.
