It was Machinarium that started it all for my daughter. I think the genius of it is the pictogram style - no reading required - and her mouse skills have improved drastically since she put her mind to playing out the story herself. I can always hope there'll be a sequel (as the ending seems to imply). But even if there isn't, there's still the chance that Amanita Design's upcoming games (Samorost 3 and Botanicula) will fit the bill.
