Knowledge Adventure (owned by Sierra) puts out two series of educational games (jump-start and blaster) aimed at children of (all ages) with cute cartoon characters. While their newest game incorporates a spy theme and uses a fireball blast to destroy robots, my brother, who works their, says its the first time they've ever used an explosion graphic. (The game characters have never used guns). The games teach a lot of spelling/grammar/language arts as well as math and logic. Additionally they have geography, science, and history components. They have a wide variety of games with different themes (ie skateboarding adventures etc) and grade levels. Perhaps you might find one of their games of interest.
