Summary: We love it!
Review: Our son is only 2 1/2 and he sails through most of the games. He has no problems clicking on things. In fact, what we like the most about it is that it doesn't matter if you right or left click. Most programs only let you left click. He has learned colors, shapes, letters, sounds of some letters, numbers and how to count from this program. It is easy for him to pick and choose the activites he wants to play. He gets frustrated with other programs. He giggles to no end listening to Cookie Monster and Elmo.

Summary: mixed good & bad
Review: The art cd in this pack is great. You can paint, do stickers, and costumes--all fun and creative. The numbers & letters games are horrible. Essentially the child is wandering around on Sesame street and gets to make a bunch of stuff repeatedly move by clicking on it. There aren't really any games or play of any value embedded in this aimless & boring wandering. Worse, there is a tv in every home the child visists (Big Bird, the Count, etc) & this tv is the main attraction--my son would go to the room (in the game) and ask to watch tv. Just what I needed. Somehow I disabled the video compont so now all the tvs are broken--this helped some, but I was disappointed in Sesame Street enough to get on here and wirte my first review!

Summary: Love it! Well-suited for my growing toddler
Review: This is a must-have program. Better material than the Disney Learning Toddler which is still good. My toddler loves it and finds new things about it as her learning interests change. We discover new screens every once in a while too. The name feature is very cool.

Summary: disappointed
Review: This software is nothing like I expected. First of all, one of the disks is bad. With the other one my 3 years old gets bord with after 5 minutes of playing. The software has very basic activities and is borring, poor quality graphics, too mutch talking, wating periods between activities are too long. Defenitely do not recommend this software, not worth the money.

Summary: Wonderful Game!!
Review: We are a big computer family and have tried many many games (including Reader Rabbit, Jumpstart, Little People, Living Books, and quite a few more), and this one is still my personal favorite. We have never experienced any problems with this game, and I was surprised to read the previous reviews. Perhaps these users had incompatible computer platforms? We have Windows XP and a very fast system, but this game also worked great on a lesser system, using Windows ME. This game is packed with activities to choose from, and my almost 3 year old has mastered most of them, after about 8 months. Pretty good life for a computer game in our home! There are games that work on letter and numeral recognition, phonics sounds, colors, shapes, dual attributes, same & different, recognizing community helpers, and creative collage style art. The game automatically adjusts to become more difficult or easier to match your child's skill level. My son absolutely loves this game and is enthralled when Big Bird says his name (an unusual name, too, but pronounced correctly!). Our 14 month old daughter is just beginning to show some interest in the game, too, but we will wait until she is 18 months before letting her play. Excellent game!!

Summary: It Talks to you!
Review: We got this computer game for our nearly 3 yr old son, and he LOVES how it says his name! His name is "Baker" so I would assume that if you child does not have a common name that won't make any difference. I didn't actually set this game up, my husband did, so I can't tell you how the name deal was done, but when Big Bird talks to Baker (In Big Bird's voice, not my husband's saying "Baker")he just goes ape. The games are fun and do-able for him. Good choice.

Summary: tech support is horrible
Review: We ordered this product and received two disks. One disk installed properly and one disk was defective. We are computer savvy and we know when a disk is faulty. The publisher was no help. We could not get a person to answer the phone. Our two emails sent to the tech support desk were never answered - we gave them 3 weeks to reply. The whole experience was very frustrating.

Summary: We love it
Review: What great games. The best part is that Big Bird and the other Sesame Street characters say your childs name and know his/her birthday. It was great to see the surprise look on our 3 year olds face when Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster said Happy birthday to her. The games are easy to do and help her to learn how to use the mouse.

Summary: All I can say is...WOW
Review: You say you want your kids to learn numbers, shapes, letters AND the basic operation of a computer all at the same time? Well, look no further, friend. This piece of software has it all and more. Big Bird will actually address your child by name if you so choose and keep the little ones out of your hair for hours at a time while they progress through several difficulty levels. Plus there are songs to sing and cartoons to watch, all of it with the friendly lovable Sesame characters that we've all grown to adore.
