 Dr. Seuss Cat in the HatJun 02, 2001
This is a geat program. My husband bought the program when our daugter was about 4 months old and she just loved watching the book being read to her. Now she is about a year old and has to play the game every night before bed. It is a wonderful program, you can have the book read to you or you can choose to play on each of the pages. We are always finding somthing new on the pages. I just hope thay make one for The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.

 Nice but boringMar 15, 2002
By Paula Cohen Martin
My 3 year old is a big fan of The Cat in The Hat so I was thrilled to find this software. While it's amusing both he and I were very quickly bored. The book is "read" to you and then you get to interact with the images on the page, but there are very few actual "games" and even those are uninteresting. Objects and characters move, speak or do silly things when you click on them but nothing is challenging or requires any thought. There are a few exceptions (on one page you can rearange a portrait on the wall, on another make the cat balance more items...) but it's just nothing interesting and there's not enough...

Very engagingOct 19, 2001
I bought this when my daughter was two years old. She continued to view it regularly for almost two years. There are a lot of different things for her to see on each screen, and it is very interactive. By clicking on the various items, Christina is rewarded with all kinds of surprises. We are still finding surprises that we weren't aware of previously! Highly recommend this!!

 Really good buyJan 02, 2003
By M. H Shamp
I first saw this software in my local library and immediately decided to get one for my 3 year old. The program is as good as I expected. It installs very easily, runs well, has some animation while reading with different voices for the characters. It is a fine job overall, and my son loves it. The whole story lasts 15 minutes, and so far he has spent an hour or two a day watching it without me prompting him. There is also a part of the program where one can click the items on the screen and make it do something, but my son doesn't know how to manipulate the mouse yet. I suspect he will enjoy it later. Considering the fact that the book itself costs around $7, 10 bucks for a whole CD doesn't seem out of line at all. There is one small drawback: there is no direct way to quit the program in the middle of the book -- no "Esc" or "F1" key can bail you out of there. I got out once by pressing the windows key and then close it in windows, which is not the proper way to close a program and I felt guilty doing it. They should have designed a way to quit at any time gracefully, I think, but this is not a big problem. Overall, I am very happy I bought it.

Cat in the HatOct 29, 2003
By Ann
Have used Dr Suess books, especially Cat in the Hat, to teach English to young learners. With the animation and learning support offered by this excellent CD-rom, language development is readily stimulated. The children beg for it day after day!
