Summary: Great way to get toddlers to interact with the mouse
Review: I bought this for my son who is just over 2. He had been using the "Jump Start" series and got bored with that as he could just hit "any key" and it would work. This set has games which need kids to use a mouse, but not with tons of accuracy. His favorite is the Reader Rabbit CD which has lots of matching games, including parents with babies and a "bubble castle" where you pop imaginary bubbles with a wand to release trapped animals. I would have given it four stars, but the programs are mildly bugg-y and have to be reset once in a while.

Summary: Good, Better, and Best.......all in one!
Review: I purchased this package about a month ago for my 3 year old son. He hasn't had much exposure to the computer and I thought it was time. These cd's were perfect. I walked him through how to do it and it didn't take long for him to figure it out and do it all by himself. The Polky Puppy and Velveteen Rabbit cd was ok....but it really couldn't keep his attention. The Dr. Suess cd was good, it helps with learning letters and does all kinds of silly stuff when you click on the characters. The Crayola cd was better.....the 3d effects you get after "flooding" an area are terrific. This is a good one to exercise mouse skills as you have to point to a specific area and click in order to "flood" the area with the color you pick. But the best was the Reader Rabbit cd.....this one keeps him entertained. He especially loves the bubble castle. The songs have a good beat and keep it lively as well. And.....very mouse friendly!
