 Wonderful, educational and entertaining!Jun 25, 2004
By Melissa M. Leonard
My 7 year old and 4 year old boys love this - they follow the animated story along in the book, and they talk to each other about what is happening. It is such a nice story, and the animation and music are simple and good - not flashy. Another great title from the Learning Company (we are big fans of Reader Rabbit!)

Outstanding OLDER titleJan 04, 2011
By James Grubic
This is an outstanding software title, and the story is wonderful and engrossing, but unfortunately the Amazon listings do not show the age of the product. I believe this may be the old MacOS "Classic" version along with the Windows 95/98 version.
In many cases you will be able to get some of the older software like this to work on Windows 7/Vista, as those platforms are more concerned with compatibility. In the case of newer Intel Macs, you will not get this software to run at all unless you run it with emulation software.
Suggestions for Mac Users:
*Pick up an old iMac, install OS 8.6 or 9. Set the screen size to 640x480. It will run happily there as designed.
*Install an emulator like Parallels, install Windows XP, and run it there.
It is possible to run "Classic" emulators on your Intel Mac but in general the experience will be far less polished and you'll need to spend quite a bit of time to get the emulation running like you want.
Disclaimer: It is possible that this software title does work on Intel Macs. However, I can't confirm except for the fact that I recently had to install this software for a teacher and it was the Classic version from circa 1995.

3 1/2 year old enjoys it!Dec 03, 2004
By Shuzam
The children's section of our library has this on the computers for preschoolers and it is the one my 3 and 1/2 year old son consistently chooses and sits through while I get to pick out books quietly! He does the "read to me" option, and I saw the other options for learning about bats, etc.

engaging, lovely story & gameOct 13, 2008
By Deirdre C. Staley
This adaptation of the wonderful story of the little fruit bat Stellaluna
is absolutely engaging. With terrific graphics and music is is a must-have
for anyone wishing to tell the positive story of cultural diversity.
There is a great deal of acceptance; the birds accept Stellaluna even though she has some peculiar habits (hanging upside down)and Stellaluna
even learns to eat worms although she'd much prefer fruit.
A lovely story made even better by the rich visuals and music.

 DisappointedNov 08, 2010
By Ms DeSalles
I purchased this item for my Grandchildren to use and it won't open on any of my computers. It has been a total waste of money.
