Garbage. Don't waste your money.,
This review is from: Caillou Ready for School (PC & Mac) (CD-ROM)
Don't be fooled by the hype and fancy box. This software is poorly designed and not appropriate for use by young children who cannot already read, which defeats its purpose. 1. Each disk must be installed separately, and the 4 desktop icons are identical so a child cannot tell which corresponds to which CD. The CDs also lack useful graphics to differentiate them to a non-reader. 2. Starting the game requires reading (for language selection and saved game retrieval). My 2 1/2 year old daughter has no problems starting and running her other software (Disney Preschool, etc.). She is helpless to even start this program on her own. 3. Games are low-budget, shareware-type activities and are repetitive from one disk to another and even within a disk, with only the imagery and sprites swapped out. I can't fathom why it takes 5 disks to deliver this material, unless the audio files to say "good job" in 3 languages take an unbelievable amount of disk space. 4. The number drop game is frustrating to impossible for a small child to master because the "catch" area is too large. 5. Even the warranty card is faulty, offering a period of "ninety (30)" [sic] days. PBS and iParenting should be ashamed to be endorsing this product. I would return it if I could. Don't subject your child to this rubbish.

At last a good mind challeging video,
By HighTech "Ron" (Anaheim, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caillou Ready for School (PC & Mac) (CD-ROM)
My wife and I like this video.
It is one of the better ones for developing a young mind. There are many aspects of development and this explores some that others do not. Prett good quality and even runs okay on our older PC (P3-550mhz). Our [...] boy likes it a lot also and as it runs okay we do too. I would highly recommend this as part of your activities. Others are 'Your baby can read' 'The Brainy baby series' 'Baby Einstein' and 'Leapfrog DVD's'.
