My Take
I think it is a great introduction to typing and learning how to place your hands. It is great for smaller kids. I wish I had a resource introduced to me like this.
How I Use It
I would use this as a first step to help students learn to type and proper hand placement. the fun cartoon design is great for interaction and allows for encouraging typing practice.

Fun, engaging, and easy for young children to use and learn through!
