At last a good mind challeging video [Posted on 2006-08-07]
My wife and I like this video.
It is one of the better ones for developing a young mind.
There are many aspects of development and this explores some that others do not.
Prett good quality and even runs okay on our older PC (P3-550mhz).
Our [...] boy likes it a lot also and as it runs okay we do too.
I would highly recommend this as part of your activities.
Others are 'Your baby can read' 'The Brainy baby series' 'Baby Einstein' and 'Leapfrog DVD's'.

Great [Posted on 2006-08-27]
We purchased this for our [...] daughter. She loves playing the games in different languages too. She has already learned to read as a result of using this software. She can now point and click faster than me. If you want your child to learn I would recommend this software!

Greater Starter Set [Posted on 2006-10-22]
I'm a preschool teacher (ages 3-5). I use the program(s) in my classroom and at home with my son (who is almost 4 years). This set isn't fancy or super high tech but it is a great learning set for children who are just learning to use a computer. The games focus on basic educational concepts and they are easy for preschoolers to navigate independently. These games can be used by both both my english and spanish speaking students (multiple language capabilities). Best of all, the students enjoy the games. What a value!

Good Value [Posted on 2006-11-06]
I bought from best buy where box listed for $19.95 but rang up $9.95. The games are age appropriate. Could have used simple gaming tricks for more variety which is why not 5 stars. The activity sheets are very good. Two sets of flash cards for numbers 1-100 and upper case and lower case alphabet were unexected and extremely helpful for kindergarten prep. I sit with my child while he's on the computer so whether he can read or not to follow the directions is not an issue. However if your comparing to Candy Land like games which a young child can do entirely on their own, the Caillou does need adult supervision.

DOESNT WORK ON MAC OSX [Posted on 2006-11-23]
The game wont install on a Mac running OSX... Therefore, its not true that the game is Mac compatible.
