Look, this is a product from 1999 that tried to bring bowling home in an era before Wii Sports existed. It accomplishes its stated goal—you can indeed play 'bowling' anywhere with just dice and paper. The problem is that it's not actually fun.
The BGG community has spoken with a 4.58/10 rating: this is a math worksheet with a bowling theme. There are no decisions, no strategy, no excitement. You roll dice, the dice tell you what happened, you write it down. Repeat for 10 frames.
If your kid genuinely wants to learn bowling scoring rules, this will do that. If you're stuck in a waiting room and happen to have 10 dice and a score pad, sure, it's better than staring at the wall. But there are dozens of better dice games (Yahtzee, Qwixx, Farkle) and hundreds of better family games at this complexity level.
The only scenario where this makes sense is if you're a bowling coach who needs a portable scoring practice tool. For everyone else, just go bowling.
