That imaginative, physical-play premise is why Companions peaks at 98 for 4 to 5 year olds, with Dreamers at 95 and Entertainers at 90, and Thrill Seekers also climbs to 80 at this age: this suits a child who loves both cosy family stories and a bit of climbing adventure. Our curators name younger children, families and fans of imaginative play as the best fit, and our engine scores it 75 out of 100 for educational value.
