Is It Any Good?
Never preachy, always punchy, clever and hip, ADMONGO does a super job of schooling kids on the advertising that's all around them. The fictional ads used here as examples of various marketing methods are outstanding, visually appealing, and realistic. Which means kids will be able to relate to the lessons all the more.

It's all set in a fun and funky game world that most kids won't want to leave.
