Summary: Excellent Program for your Toddler and child to learn from
Review: Our three year old just got this from her Grandpa, and she loves the program! It is easy for her to use since she does not have to be able to use the buttons extensively. She can just roll the track ball (or mouse) over things to make things happen. The pictures are clear, and pretty, and captivating. The sound is great. This program also came with a bonus Bugs Life Game which was a blast for us older ones to play with the kids. I highly recommend this program for starting your child onto computers along with our other two toddler favorites; Little People Discovery Farm and Jump Start Toddlers.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Sound problems
Review: Start up music was cute, 3 yr. old very excited. As soon as she began to play I realized the game did not operate as specified. Sound cuts off at the end of each phrase and boredom set in quickly. She is much happier with Jump Start.Not even worth the sale price.

Summary: A Good Beginner Computer Game
Review: This is the first computer game we bought for our 2 1/2 year-old. Since she was a complete novice using the computer, I liked the way she could manipulate the game by just touching keys on the keyboard. However, she very soon figured out that she could also use the mouse to move the game along-without needing to click at all. Just moving the cursor, which is a miniature Mickey Mouse gloved hand, causes letters, shapes, and numbers to pop out or go away. By now she has learned to go from one screen to another by merely moving the cursor to the right spot on the screen, for instance to go from letters with Mickey to shapes with Minnie, or to colors with Goofy.(There is also sounds and musical effects with Donald, and numbers with Pluto.) Hence she is able to play the game entirely by herself, and loves to do so. In this regard it seems the perfect game to start out a little one on the computer.

In addition the game itself is entertaining due to the cute graphics and cheery music. My daughter enjoys moving her feet and humming along to the music played when finding shapes with Minnie. Each different character has its own "theme" music. The only real drawback to this game is that it would probably be too slow and un-stimulating to a child who already has lots of computer experience, and would also be boring to an older child who already knows their letters, shapes, numbers and colors really well, or who needs more interaction from computer games of software.

Summary: Works with Windows 2000
Review: This product works with Windows 2000. It seems like a good choice for a first program to use with a toddler, too, as the interface is simple enough for them to learn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mickey speaks right to your toddler.
Review: This program is wonderful. It is one of my 2 1/2 year old son's favorites. The program is designed as if Mickey were speaking right to him. The program is easy to use and understand. It does a terrific job at reinforcing your toddler's listening skills, as well as enhancing their coordination skills to manipulate the mouse.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Handicapped on Mac's
Review: This works great on an IBM PC. It is a disaster on a Mac. This software caused constant freezes on the Mac Intosh computer. This application was used in a classroom setting for handicapped children. Most of the children liked it, however the bonus CD(a Bug's Life) which was included free of charge is more popular and offers more content.

Summary: was a gift or I would be asking for refund
Review: We've had the JumpStart toddler series, and some misguided friend gave us this one. We uninstalled a week later. Does not run smoothly, and did not maintain my sons attention like the Jump Start toddler does.
