Customer Reviews:

Very disappointing [Posted on 2001-01-12]
I was very disappointed with Muppet Babies - Toyland Train. First there is a very long introduction that no toddler is going to have the patience to sit through. Then the activities are rather boring, they are not so imaginative or playful. I was also shocked when I tried using it and Kermit the Frog told me I had answered wrong, please try again! What a blow to a toddler's self-esteem! So don't waste your money on this program, get Reader Rabbit Toddler instead, it's much better.

My Three Year Old's Favorite! [Posted on 2001-03-13]
My daughter has adored this one since she got it for her third birthday, and she has a ton of software. She asks daily to play the "froggie" game. Unlike some of her other games, she can do this one all by herself. She can even easily change the level, which alters the game play- she goes through all the different levels just for fun, and seems to be getting a lot out of it. Her favorite is the dress-up game, where she can dress up Skeeter and Skooter for the changing seasons. There are certainly better games out there, but this is the one she wants to play- and it really is a cute one!

Windows 2000 problem [Posted on 2003-05-07]
Good and educational for childs. I have this software, but bought a new PC with windows 2000. Now my child is not able to use it anymore, because there is no sound.

Make it compatible !!!!!!!

Not half bad... [Posted on 2005-11-09]
My 18 month old likes to sit on my lap and watch as each activity cycles through. Sometimes Kermit adds narration, but I usually provide information, such as when it goes through colors, I name different objects that color or say where the animals live. I just started putting it on level 2, so he can practice clicking the mouse and he loves it even more. The game really keeps my son's attention and he usually gets bored quickly with everything but his books.

The major downside is Kermit's narration and the songs. You have to click a bunch of times to get Kermit to talk about the objects and not even always then. Also, the jukebox section, when Kermit sings, he is seriously off-beat. The music and his voice don't match up. I don't think the programmers had both running at the same time when they made this game and it sounds like it. Also, the music for the songs is too club sounding. The games are good, just not the jukebox.
