We like it. [Posted on 2002-09-10]
My son has had this since he was about 2 1/2. It is by far his favorite and has its pluses and minus'. Positive: Easy to follow directions for young learners. Negative: Some games are a little too advanced, especially compared to the others. "Pop the balloon with the word Cat on it." It's hard enough for a three year old to find the word Cat let alone click on it with a mouse as it flies across the screen. Positive: He likes to "Earn a ticket" so it motivates him to do well. (With enough tickets you get a prize...like a maze or paper airplane you can print out). Negative: He, at three, learned to work the system and likes two of the easier games that earn tickets quickly with less work. Positive: I like the letter recognition of the t-shirt printing game. He has learned a pretty good letter to phonic association. Negative: Not a large enough vocabulary.
Overall, compared to other children's software we have used (Jump Start & Sesame Street) it is the best. My son enjoys it as long as there is someone to help him when he gets frustrated with the mouse or is unable to complete a task. I am actually shopping online for the next version.

We like this Alot! [Posted on 2003-01-31]
I must say that this is one of the better games we own. It's very engaging, fun, and a good learning tool to boot. I can't say enough about the game and the way it runs. Nearly no tech support would be needed. and, the directions are given pretty clearly throughout the game so the child doesn't feel lost, nor do I as the parent for that matter. It's a fun game and I feel my son gets alot out of it.

Fun and Educational [Posted on 2003-05-08]
I bought this for my 4 year old girl. She rarely watches Clifford so I took a chance with this one - but SHE LOVES IT! This game is a good solid tool for teaching and reinforcing reading and phonics. She now knows all the sounds each letter makes and can read more and more words. Only drawback, instead of wanting a kitty for a pet, she's now asking for a Big Red Dog - I tell her, "We'll See!" HA! Great game! Get it!

A parents review [Posted on 2005-09-13]
This computer game is fun enough that my 3 1/2 yr. old will continue to play with it even though it is above her level. Your child must know how to literally spell to play some of the games. My child knows her alphabet, but isn't spelling yet and therefor this program really isn't appropriate for her. A complement to this program is that it still holds her attention and she tries to figure it out. I was looking for a game that would reinforce her alphabet, counting, color, shape (preschool type) information while being entertaining, and this didn't meet my ambitions. It is a good program, but for children maybe 5 yrs. old or able to spell.

Great educational CD-rom [Posted on 2008-06-02]
My son loves these CD-roms. He is almost 5 and plays them a lot. He is learning quite a bit. Plus, there are 3 different levels, so as he gets better, he gets more challenged. I'm impressed with this.

My son is learning to read with this. He is recognizing words that he hasn't known before. I feel very good about letting him play this.
