Dragon Hatchery Review
A match 3 and sim time management game in one, Mac Dragon Hatchery combines the 2 in a fun and lively game for both kids and adults. Raise baby dragons to nobly regain their once powerful and protective position in the world.
Once the land was filled with dragons who wisely guarded the kingdom from evil, but for reasons unknown the dragons perished in the midst of deadly wars. The only survivors are the precious dragon eggs. You are needed to hatch, care for and raise the baby dragons. You begin in
the hatchery matching 3 or more of the same color eggs to hatch. Eggs coming down the conveyor are displayed at the upper left corner. You click on the column you would like to place the egg. The eggs will hatch if you make a match of 3 or more of the same color eggs. If you each egg in strategic places, you can make large matches that may contain a dragon or coins. If you open eggs with letters, the word hatchery can be spelled for a huge bonus.
After hatching you go to the nursery to raise your dragons. The dragon babies will come down the waterway, you click on the hay, drag it to make a nest, click and drag the dragon to the nest. After awhile the baby will need food, water or bathing. Some of the tasks will require more than 1 step to complete like the food. The food must be bought with the gold you earned, click and drag the food to the grind until it is ready for a baby. Click and drag the food to the baby dragon to complete. Sounds easy, right? Wait until you have many baby dragons needing attention. The nursery gets to be wild with one dragon needing water, another food, another a bath and a clean nest. The goals of each level are listed at the bottom and upgrades can be purchased.
Dragon Hatchery with its cute and colorful artwork is entertaining and fun to do. The match play can get confusing at times when you have to 
quickly maneuver your egg into the right position in a short time. Pick the level you are most comfortable with by clicking on kid, normal or, if you dare, pro. The only thing I didn’t like is not being able to skip the tutorial. If you are up for a challenge, raise your adorable baby dragons for full and happy lives.

Ladybugs Review
Ladybugs is a Mac game for very young children. You will have a lot of fun with your little toddler “working” on the computer. There is much opportunity here to teach your child the basics of the keyboard and mouse and have loads of entertainment as well.
There are short instructions where you can practice reading letters and words with your child. The white letters outlined in black make it easier to clearly see and read out loud, however it would have been more age appropriate with block lettering. Very young kids are able to learn so much it's almost unbelievable. They can learn their letters and words if given a chance, enough instruction and patience on your part.
The game has 3 modes of play and each one should be enjoyable for your child. Color Trouble is a section where you match the color of your ladybug to her house. Following the flower path, you guide the ladybug to the same color house. In the Ladybug Race you are racing the blueladybug to the houses. I think the blue ladybug is a little confused because she sometimes loses her way. This will give 
your child a chance to beat her. In the Tangled Maze you guide your ladybug through a maze to her like color house.
All 3 games will help your child with color recognition, coordination, direction and learning to win or lose. Even if you must control the mouse and keys for your tyke, I think a 2 year old would still appreciate the cute ladybugs and colorful scenery. All of these factors are very important in the development of young children. I think it would have been perfect if the developers added a memory game mode to the puzzles. It is incredible how much a toddler remembers.
The simple graphics, large cursor and the happy music will set the stage for a lighthearted afternoon of fun while at the same time learning new things on a cute, joyful game like Ladybugs. An extra bonus is the priceless bonding with your little one.
