 - LOVE this for my toddlerwe use it on our mac with NO problems. my son loves this program though after almost a year he's starting to get bored--which isnt so bad really. There is plenty to click on as long as you're in the right portion. At 2.5 he can get himself into the chair, turn the program on, navigate it completely and quit. sometimes I'm still surprised at what he finds in the program, its full of hidden fun. because of this program, i have a 2 year old who is incredibly comfortable with computers (now tries to navigate the web, whoa!), AND looks at items in the real world that are in the book, for example, when he sees an aligator, he either says, "aunt annies aligator, a a a." or "a is for aligator!" Rating:  - Disappointing.The description led us to believe that the game was much more interactive than it actually was. Our almost 6 year old was bored with it the first time she played it. The game reads the words on the screen and has limited opportunities to click on the screen for other words to appear. There were no options for reading each section and then having confirmation, practicing how to spell, etc. Overall, a waste of our money. Rating:  - Entertaining and fun!Our two year old really likes this and kept asking to "watch ABC's on the computer." It includes a reading of the book, which is more involved than the video (which we also like) as well as an interactive part that our little one does not use yet. It is a nice complement to the book and I expect we will get quite a bit of use out of the interactive part in a year or so. Even though it is an old program it works fine with XP for us. Rating: - Great rhyme's and hilarious illustrations!I say only Dr. Seuss and Living Books could make the alphabet so unpredictably entertaining. I do like the fact that it contains more than 400 alphabetically inspired surprises hidden within 26 pages that shows children learning words and letters which can be fun and silly at the same time! My 4 year old son just loves this CD and he also has "Green eggs and Ham," which I also recommend. This quintessential Seuss book defiantly teaches the alphabet through a series of nonsense rhymes and hilarious illustrations. Young siblings can learn to recognize both capitals and lowercase letters. Sound effects and talking characters truly add depth and humor to the basic alphabet, and Seuss's version of the "ABC" song will become a permanent sing-along favorite. This CD is one of my son favorites. I tell you this boy can seat in front of that computer for a long time. If you're able to get your hands on this item you won't regret it. Highly recommend. Rating: - Runs with XP There's an occasional lag, but generally it runs fine on my machine. My 3-1/2-year-old son loves the software. He laughed so hard at the "baby bouncing on his bottom like a ball" that he had to lay his head down on mouse to recover.
