My two-year-old is already adept with a mouse and enjoys games like "Blue's Birthday" and "Sesame Street Letters." The slow pace of this game, long narrations, and the fact that he only has to scroll-over pictures and not click on them are very frustrating to him. He really wants to play with Pooh, but it just makes him angry.

I was especially disapointed with the foreign language section. Instead of using a total-immersion method such as introducing a new friend who speaks to children only in the foreign language, Rabbit operates a translator machine. Words go in in English and come out (quite a while later) in Spanish. No explanation is given, and the child is left wondering why Rabbit is using nonsense words.

I don't recommend this to any child with computer abilities. They will find it boring at best, frustrating at worst.

This software is good for a toddlers' first game, since they don't have to use the mouse to click on much. However, it is very limited. Too much talking and not enough action. She gets bored with it easily. Reader Rabbit holds her interest much more, and it has more games.

I wasn't going to introduce my 19 month old Granddaughter to the
computer until she was two. However someone bought
her this CD. She LOVES it! Everytime she comes to my house
(twice a day) she wants to "POP". She can't work the mouse yet but she points with her fingers and can recognize all of the colors and shapes and most of the letters. She likes to do all parts of it. She sits & smiles while the songs are playing
and asks to make it "dark" in the opposites section. I would
recommend this to anyone who has the time and patience to sit
and play with a child.

This software is good because your child just moves the mouse and doesn't have to click it, so they can get the hang of the mouse thing slowly. The problem is that there are only 4 activities - and the music one isn't very exciting. A lot of watching and not much doing. My son really enjoys the "popping balloons" game though, and it has helped him with his mouse skills (he is 2 1/2). Reader Rabbit is the best for teaching mouse skills, but this is a good supplement

This toddler game is too limited for my liking, of the 5 areas to explore only one is any good, and even that has limited appeal. I would go for Jump Start, or Reader Rabbit first for Toddlers.

However, for some reason my kids keep asking for this game and we do have a number of other toddler and pre school games, that is why I give it 3 stars(and not less).

An example of why Jump Start is better is that there are at least two levels which change each game, and a song in each area, and there are about 8 areas. Much more value for money.

I bought this game for my son, but i found that i used it more by myself. It really helped me with my counting and spelling and i have much more confidence now. So buy this game for your kid, but you may find that you like it for yourself.

Winnie the Pooh Toddler is the best toddler program I've seen yet. My soon loves the characters and gets quite involved with the games and activities. The overall tone of the piece is sufficiently low-key that I can stand to sit in front of it, son in lap, again and again and again. I prefer it to Jump Start Toddler.

My 2 year old is just starting out on the computer. We have been *very* happy with most toddler software we have tried such as Reader Rabbit and Jumpstart. This software was our first big let down. There are only a handful of activities on this disc and each one is pretty dull with little educational or interactive value. Would not recommend.

But there isn't such a rating. I have a lot of games and tons of software for my PC. So, why does this software crash my computer every time I attempt to install and run it? There is supposedly a fix on a Disney software site, but nothing has made it work so far. I'm an experienced PC user over many years now. Software produced by Disney (or anybody for that matter) should come out of the box ready to work. The box says it will work with WinXP, so it should. It doesn't. I am very disappointed since my daughter would love learning with Pooh Bear.
