The first stop is the garden where they discover Daisy transformed into a shrub. By learning to master the first set of keys, a, s, l, and ; they will help free her. To do so, they take a typing lesson, complete a challenge, and reinforce their new skills by playing a game. Upon passing a test, Daisy is free and back to herself! Mickey's Typing Adventure is packed with so much fun and motivation, kids forget they are learning to type.
