It might as well just be a video [Posted on 2007-10-08]
My 3-yr old daughter is entertained by this, but as we watched it, I couldn't help but wonder why it is sold as software rather than just a DVD you would watch on the TV. It's almost entirely non-interactive. The menu includes options to either have the story read to you, or to "play now", the latter presumably being the interactive option. But, from what I can tell, both options do exactly the same thing, which is to read the story from A to Z with on-screen animation.

Excellent dvd for students!  [Posted on 2007-11-12]
I teach mentally retarded adults and a program I found that really works with my students is Dr. Seuss Living Books ABC on CD-ROM. My daughter, who is 6, prefers to have the use of a mouse to play on the program, but many of my students who have problems using a mouse, prefer to have the book read out loud to them. Either way, this CD-ROM both teaches and entertains!

Software is NOT compatible with OS X 10.5 [Posted on 2007-12-23]
Here are the documented system requirements as shown to a customer:

# Macintosh:
# Power Mac
# 68020 or faster processor
# 8 MB RAM
# 80 MB hard disk space
# 2x or faster CD-ROM drive
# 256-color or better video display
# Mouse

My computer meets these requirements. However after receiving the CD a key system requirement was identified:

OS 7.5 - 9

Hmmm wait a minute. OS X (10.5.1) Leopard no longer supports OS 9!

When you insert this CD you will get:
You can't open the application "Dr. Seuss's ABC" because the Classic environment is no longer supported

The little apple compatibility icon needs to be updated to reflect reality.

Great! My son enjoys it over and over! [Posted on 2008-03-11]
My son is 4 and is learning his A,B,C's with this program!
Its fun and keeps him interested. I enjoyed picking it out online, the price was great and the service too. Thanks!

Might like it if we could USE it [Posted on 2008-06-04]
Bought the ABC and Green Eggs and Ham cds (they came as a set). Could not load GE&H on my hubby's laptop (running XP) without hanging, so we tried my desktop (running Vista). It loaded, and runs, but continues to hang on occasion. ABC is worse; we can't get past the letter B before it hangs. Both computers have more then enough RAM, OS are listed as compatible, etc. It gets one star 'cause we can run GE&H most of the time, and my 3 1/2 yr old LURVES it.
