I do not recommend Reader Rabbit because it is copy protected and requires
that you give your 4-year-old the master disk any time they want to play.
Plus, of course, they won't be able to read the dialogue asking them to
insert the master disk.  All in all a thoroughly stupid idea that cripples
an otherwise nice package.

Manhole looks great in demos.

KidsTime is a lot of fun.  You can even add your own puzzles to connect
the dots.

My 4-year-old likes PhrazeCraze even though she can't read the phrases.
You can make your own puzzles though, if you want it to be easier.
This is a shareware program that emulates Wheel Of Fortune.

She also has fun doing much of Fools Errand (with help).
