Product Description

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

Another Mercer Mayer book on CD-ROM! In this one, Little Critter and his Dad are off on a big camping trip. Lots of adventures await- there are fish to catch, campfires to build and ghost stories to tell before bedtime. This twelve page, easy to use electronic book is colorfully illustrated, and each page contains about two dozen clickables. In addition to reading and listening to the story, kids can watch a 22 minute "video" made by Little Critter and his dad about their trip. We enjoyed this title, as did our testers, but found that its longevity was similar to that of a paper-version book. Additional activities would have raised the rating even higher.
Teaches: early reading, word recognition

Product Description

This is more than just a story! Follow along as Little Critter reads you the story of what happened when he went camping with his dad. Then play with each page of the story and enter a world full of interactive imagination, sounds, humor and surprises, chock full of animation. When you're finished reading and playing with the story, stop by Little Critter's living room and watch the 22-minute video of Little Critter's camping trip with his dad!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous animation- a must have!, February 24, 2000
This review is from: Mercer Mayer's Just Me and My Dad (CD-ROM)
Just Me and My Dad is wonderful. Not only is there a story and animation but an entire video of Little Critter's "camping trip" can be seen on his TV (20 minutes). This CD introduces Little Critter well, or continues the relationship from Mercer Mayer's books. Stimulates spatial memory as well as interest in reading. My 2 year old was motivated to master the mouse with this program and it translated to his continuing development because of the activities and story. We have been using this program for three years now and he still chooses it as one of his favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars doesn't work on XP, April 23, 2004

This review is from: Mercer Mayer's Just Me and My Dad (CD-ROM)
Just me and my Dad is an excellent children's book, and this software version does an excellent job of reading it. I bought it mainly to help my 5 year old son learn to read, and I find it very useful. However, it gave me tremendous frustration at first when I couldn't get it to run at all on my one year old Windows XP machine. I own many children's software, such as the Magic school bus series, Jump Start, Reader Rabbit, DK software, and other Living Book series such as the Cat in the Hat, and they all run well or at least partially on my machine. This one doesn't open AT ALL, and every trick I used that worked in the past failed. Luckily, I was able to borrow a friend's computer with Windows 98, and it runs beautifully. My son particularly likes the little movie on it. It is surprisingly well done and captivates his attention. Highly recommended for those who can downgrade.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this, my kids love it even more., April 24, 2000
This review is from: Mercer Mayer's Just Me and My Dad (CD-ROM)
My kids have dozens of programs -- I'm afraid to even count them all -- and this is one of their all-time faves. Not only is the story fun, but clicking around the pages yields lots of surprises and giggles. And they're always finding things they've missed the first few dozen times through the story. Of course, with me being the dad, this version ranks several steps above the version of ``Mercer Mayer's Me and My Mom.''
