I bought this for my two year old son after he fell in love with, and practically wore out, Winnie the Pooh's ABCs. This game, however, turned out to be very dissapointing.

First - it has issues running under Windows 95. For starters, it requires you to run in 256 colors instead of 16 bit color, so it is necessary to change video modes every time we switch in or out of this game. Also - the sound track is not very high quality - it has scratchy moments, and some sounds don't play at all.

Second - the game just isn't as good as other childrens games out there. It isn't as educational as Winnie the Pooh's ABC's or 123's. Its more like a bunch of little animated movies that occasionally have clickable things to do.

I wouldn't advise purchasing this game - I'd suggest getting instead Winnie the Pooh's ABC's and/or Winnie the Pooh's 123's. Blue's ABC Time Activies is also a much more interactive and educational game.

My daughter received this software for Christmas this year and it was well worth the money spent! She begs to play it almost every day and it's really easy for her to get in to. She still has trouble controlling the mouse (what can you expect from a child who is still not yet two years old), but she's getting better each time she plays it. I find it very helpful and educational to her. Not only is she learning her numbers,letters and colors, but it is helping her fine motor skills as well. I would recommend this to any child, especially if they love Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh!!

My son is two and loves this game. It was amazing how quick he gained control of the mouse to pop the balloons and move from game to game. This is a great starter!

The game seems fun for your toddler however, it's fairly easy to master even for a two year old. I also found that I had problems with certain sounds and images with my Microsoft ME. Certain sounds could not be heard and certain images never appeared. The technical support that we called was not helpful to the task.

This is the best I have found for his age. I highly recommend this for teaching ABC, number, color, and shape recognition. My son pops helium balloons by clicking on them and giggles as pooh characters holding them are sent soaring to the ground (gently, of course they don't get hurt). This was the first game I let him play by himself. It is really cute. To my amazement, he has learned great control of the mouse. He throws a fit when he has to get off, he would play for hours if I let him. There are some aspects of the game I haven't seen yet because I am able to allow him to "work" independently. I have seen the different screens, so I know he has no problem switching back and forth from game to game. He hasn't had to call for my help once. As well as the above-mentioned, it teaches reasoning skills, opposites, creativity and more. I suggest working with your child on the opposites game or (possibly others) occasionally to reinforce learning; however, he is entertained by it even when I am not there. I just think it is helpful for kids to have their parents there highlighting points to aid in all early learning. I can't say enough about the balloon popping, though. I imagine that if a child cannot already identify his letters, numbers, shapes, and colors, he will surely do so after so much repetition---repetition that holds attention, now that says a lot. I almost wish I hadn't already taught him all these things. My nephew has not learned preschool info, and he loves this software as well. He will learn it soon enough! It is a calm sort of game that is perfect for little learners. The edition I have only includes the Winnie the Pooh cd-rom, but I can assure you that it would be worth the price for this one cd alone!

Hello, We received this game as a gift several years ago, my daughter Mackenzie who is now 5 loved this game when she was little. My Son Malachi who is Down Syndrome and age 9 absolutely love these two games Mickey and Pooh Both. He can get into the game on his own and change screens through all the different games. He would spend all day on the computer if we would let him. He has an absolute ball playing all these games. I am actually on here today to purchase a few more of this game, So they can have a copy at his school, and at grandmas house. Its been a blast to watch him learn and have fun with these games! Highly recommend these games to anyone! Great Buy! Worth IT!

Granted, I'm running it on a newer XP box with lots of RAM, fast processor and high-end graphics card, but the pooh disk crashes if I try the printing option and I have to manually reset the resolution after rebooting my computer.
The Mickey half isn't much trouble. It resets the the screen mode upon exit. My niece isn't even 2 years old and she screams in delight when we play the Mickey Mouse disk. That's good enough for 5 stars for me.
The place I purchased it from deserves 5 stars, too. It's not their fault out dated software isn't always compatible with newer machines.

This game is great for young toddlers!! My 20 month old LOVES it. When ever she hears the music starting it up, she comes running. a few of the games have children drag the mouse over "hidden" letters. This is great for children who do not know how to click. It would be great if you had a mini mouse. they are meant to be used with notebook compters, but are smaller, so little kids can use them easier! This is a great program for teaching children how to use the comptuer.

my cousin loved this book. She is 2 and learnt her alphabet, numbers and can begin to write through books like these. I enjoyed showing her the bright pictures, and the large fun text. thank you disney and amazon. ( I also enjoyed it too, even though i would never tell anyone that i love toddlers' winnie the pooh books! i advise parents to have a read too! :)
