'Edutainment' makes it seem like it's a bitter pill that must be sugar coated with oodles of artificial sweeteners to be palatable. Especially with Children, in my humble opinion, what's need is to light that little flame. There is a certain spark in the Human psyche that gets lit whenever a person truly gains comprehension or insight into something they did not know before. Please enough already - no more of this Hollywood style, flashy, 'make believe' stuff with specious vocabulary. Perhaps because lately I feel very much offended that a lot of 'Information' out there is in fact nothing more than a subtle (or increasingly not-so-subtle) attempt at Marketing. Yuck! I cringe whenever someone uses that word. It it also designed for classroom (and therefore, I suppose, library) use with features like centralized-management (LTSP) and such.

Not sure that ones counts as edutainment, but it sure is good for the children! Open source and available for all platforms. Probably best for 8 years old (older ones of your range).
