Bailey’s Book House and other Educational Software from Edmark. Our family has used and loved Edmark software for many years. During those years Edmark has undergone a few changes in ownership. Most recently they were bought out by the Learning Company, so it’s not quite as easy to find all of the titles. I’d recommend you go to The Learning Company to see what each title is like, then shop around to find the best prices. I’ve found some titles in Scholastic’s software catalogs at great prices.
