Publisher's description of Nursery Rhymes Studio
From Caltrox Educational Software:
Nursery Rhymes Studio is a multimedia-based musical method of learning favorite Mother Goose nursery rhymes. The software has been designed for ease of use, fast setup, and interactivity. Full audio-visual and multimedia features have been built into the program to make learning nursery rhymes an enjoyable learning experience for children. The aim of the software is to enhance the learning process with voice and music.
It consists of 30 of the most popular children's Mother Goose nursery rhymes, accompanied by beautiful piano orchestra music, realistic speech, and pictures. Nursery Rhymes Studio is the most complete collection of English nursery rhymes available today in a software program. It also features full-color pictures to accompany the rhymes.

Editor's review of Nursery Rhymes Studio
While this application does include a large assortment of nursery rhymes, it fails to follow any standard model of interactive learning. The program's only feature is the Rhymes Selector button that brings up a menu of 30 popular rhymes. Users can switch between the Music and Speaking options but the music and the voice can't be played at the same time and the words are not highlighted as they are spoken. The quality of the musical version of the rhyme is acceptable, but the voice is reminiscent of early computer-generated vocals, which offer no warmth or intonation. The simple interface has the soft and colorful look a child's program requires but the graphics are static with no animation to keep a child's attention. Parents of young children may find the large collection of rhymes useful but beyond the free seven-use trial there's not much more to offer.
