Product Description

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

This electronic storybook was designed by the original Living Books team at Br¿derbund and was the second Dr. Seuss title made for CD-ROM. (The first was Dr. Seuss ABCs.) The program contains 18 beautifully illustrated pages with carefully designed animations derived from the classic Dr. Seuss book. Also hidden in the story are three activities that vary in quality. Our test families' favorite was the enjoyable word- and sentence-making activity. Testers weren't as enthusiastic, however, about the relatively dry three-level color-matching game and the word-rhyming activity. While the activities could have been much stronger, the quality of the text, graphics and animations are all high, making the CD a solid addition to an educational software library.
Teaches: reading, rhyming, initial consonants, matching colors

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Learning Tool!, May 25, 2000

This review is from: Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham (CD-ROM)

My 2 1/2 year old son learned how to use the mouse by using this program. He loves the "Let Me Play" option. It keeps him entertained for a long time and is an alternative to watching TV. When we first got Green Eggs and Ham I even enjoyed playing with it for awhile. There are so many different things to click on that it could literally keep a kid entertained for hours (if they could sit still that long!) I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham (CD-ROM)

My son Sam loves this game. He's 2 and a half, and he practically has the story memorized. The play-along portion keeps him entertained for hours!

4.0 out of 5 stars superb motivator, May 13, 2000

By 

clickette (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham (CD-ROM)

This was the third cd-rom my three year old son was exposed to, and for the last four weeks, far and away his favourite (first two were Thomas Festival Adventure and Blue's ABC). This is the CD-rom that taught him to use the mouse independently - to go to the next page at his own pace, after he had had his fill of seemingly endless repetition of favourite click points. He now spontaneously recites entire passages of the story, himself or to get us to do it in dialogue with him. He spends longish periods of time looking at the book, and then either asking to play again (sort of like the book looking is a preparation to the computer screen activity), or else comes to point out to me what happens on the computer when he clicks on X aspecct. The part I liked the best were the clever, non-disruptive additions that have been added to the original Suess text (the ending is especially humourous - won't give it away).

It doesn't matter what parents or educators think will be an engaging piece of software - the crunch is what the child wants to spend time with. This was worth every penny. The only quibble I have (and which made me withhold that last review star) was that it sometimes takes a long time in the "play" (as opposed to "read to me") mode for the child to be able to actually play. The program always goes through the whole text on that page before they can get down to business. This should be more of an option.
