Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Poor Eeyore has lost his tail and is feeling characteristically depressed. His friends agree to help the little donkey by playing games. Unfortunately, the connection between playing the games and the whereabouts of Eeyore's tail is missing. We (and testers, too) played each activity for extensive periods and were never able to unveil the lost tail or clues to its location. The best of the activities is a singing game, in which children choose the correct endings (via pictures) to songs sung by Kessie the bird. The recipe- following activity seemed unresponsive and should have asked for more input from the kids. And why not let children print out their decorated creations? Our testers wanted to but couldn't. Kids liked Pooh's Alphabet Stream, where they had to guide a boat into objects to see their associated letters, but there are no levels to this game, so there's little challenge. Similarly, even the toughest level of the letter-matching activity is likely to be too easy for most five- and six-year-old children. The best area of the program is Piglet's Short Stories, lovely renditions of Winnie-The-Pooh stories. A better tie-in to Eeyore's tail would help, as would greater novelty and challenge. The graphics are terrific, but won't save the program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars With A Caveat, September 4, 2002

If your child is into the daily Pooh show on the Disney channel, he/she will enjoy this game. As with all the other Pooh software, this is entertaining and educational. My son loves it.

With that said, I will also say that the game does not run properly on my son's PC. This machine is pretty new, and its components meet or exceed the game's requirements. The game runs slow, and the sound comes out in an "echo" fashion. The game works just great on my PC though!

Both myself and my son were a bit disappointed that it did not work as all his other software does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Toddlers, September 28, 2009

This review is from: The Book of Pooh (CD-ROM)

I bought this for my 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter. It is wonderful for the young toddler. She can manuever through all the books and games by herself. All I have to do it put the CD in the computer.

We run in it on both Windows XP and Vista (64bit) and have not had a problem with either. I would highly recommend this software for very young children. It is entertaining and extremely easy to navigate.

Fun story/activity for 2 1/2 year old, but the disc skips. Might be the computer, a fairly small lap top.
