Each game within the program itself is fun by itself, but the unique part of this software is that there is an overall theme -- i.e. in order to be able to complete one game, you have to obtain something (like a ladder) from another game. This is true problem solving, as well as being loads of fun. First rate graphics too!!
Fun for Clifford Fans

Our four year old granddaughter just loves this Clifford Software. It is challenging and she has fun while learning. I highly recommend it for preschool children!
Good program but with a caveat

Everyone else has covered the positive aspects of the game well.
The downsides are:
- children can randomly guess at many things and thus avoid learning
- one of the rescue portions of the software is really just a video game. We found our kids playing this endlessly and removed the software from their machine. If you don't mind video games or have time to always monitor their play it's not a big deal since it is not a huge part of the software

This is a good learning game for pre-school and kindergarden children. Scholastic does a good job teaching children things like colors and the alphabet. My 6 year daughter plays this game a lot and she really likes it.

I bought this for my 4-year-old's birthday. She is an old pro with computer games. Both she and my 5 1/2-year-old love it. They seem to like the bath sequence and the hair styling. Lots of fun. It does seem crash prone on my Mac, but that could be from a varied of OS issues.
Great game!

This product is well worth the purchase. My child enjoys Clifford - but is not a HUGE fan - yet really LOVES using this CD. The activities are varied and have depth - allowing a child to develop a whole range of skills. Also - there is freedom to move between locations in the game. i.e. to leave a particular activity and return to it later. This is a real plus because it gives a child choices, which encourages longer play time.
I would highly recommend this title.
Great for a Four-Year-Old

My son got this for his fourth birthday. At first it was a little difficult for him; there aren't any clues as to what to do to play the game. But, once I read the instruction booklet and sat down with him to play once or twice, he can do it fine. My seven-year-old really likes it, too. My kids and their friends really like it.
Great over and over

"It is really good" says my almost-7-year-old daughter. She and her twin brother have played this game countless times since we first purchased it over 2 years ago, maybe 3 years. Quite challenging when they were younger and still fun, especially for my daughter. 3 levels of difficulty, quite a few different activities & games, a nice goal at the end (pun intended). Really good for learning basic computer skills as well as logic and problem solving. Once the kids understood how it worked, I never had to help them with it--they could go through the whole game on their own. One of if not the best computer games I've seen for 4-6 year olds.
Excellent Choice

My four year old daughter really loves this CD. She already was familiar with Clifford from the T.V. show, so I decided to purchase the software for her birthday. Right away it held her interest and now she is on the intermediate level . She sometimes wakes up in the morning with it on her mind, and asks to play "Clifford on the computer". I have to make sure she has enought time to play it before school otherwise it is a fight to leave the computer to go and get ready! I recommend this CD for any parent who has an inquisitive child that likes computer games and enjoys learning and music.
