Not compatible with my computer; a brand new Dell

This software will not work with my computer which has Windows XP Home on it. They provided two work-arounds, one didn't work and the other one was to start pulling RAM off of the computer. LUDICROUS! This product should not be marked as compatible with Windows XP.

No legs

This game is great. My 46 month old really enjoyed it ... for about two or three hours, when she had played it out. There are a very limited number of "screens," and they don't even randomize their arrangement.

It's a shame, because the puzzles with the circles (think Venn diagrams from elementary school math) are a wonderful twist.

Therefore, I have to say the game "has no legs."

Won't run on XP

Out of the box this box crashes on Windows XP. After following the advice from Scholastic to run it in compatibility mode, it no longer crashes, but just presents me with a black screen. Calling this "XP compatible" is a joke, if you have to rely on luck to get it to run at all.

Gotta love I SPY!

We love all of the I Spy software and books. This one was not a disappointment. All of the I Spy games are simple for the very young child... So long as they can click the mouse, they can play the game. Clues are read to you so that reading is not necessary. This particular I Spy game is NOT as good as the others in the series, however it is a must have for any I Spy fan!

Perfect for Preschoolers!

My 3 year old loves this software package! It has 6 different activities that really help with important learning skills for his age group. I Spy has helped with learning to recognize and put together patterns, following directions, and independent thinking...and it's fun! The software uses familiar looking objects, such as colorful toys and beads. Other software packages have left us feeling that there should be more, but we really enjoy I Spy!

This game would not run on Windows XP out of the box. Scholastic support did not have a solution but I found it would run in compatibility mode.

My son loves the games and puzzles. This was a truly great learning game for kids.

Very Cute.

This is a very cute set of games all based on the I Spy books. In one game the kids search for items just like in the book, in another game they sort objects into venn circles. My two going on three year old son enjoys playing this for about a half an hour at a time. This helps develop visual discrimination among other things.

Having said all of that, this is one of my least favorite computer games to watch him play. Compared to some of the others he has, I find this one to be a bit boring. But it's not me that is playing it. I'd rate it a high four or low five because of this one reason. Otherwise I think it's a fine set of games.

The pictures are excellent. The skills that children learn in these games are good pre reading skills and that is good.

Enjoy.

Great game for preschoolers

I teach Kindergarten. My students love the I Spy Books so you can imagine their great delight when I found the software. My 'K' students love the I Spy Junior to start out with. After they master Jr. they go on to the older version. It is more difficult, but some of them really enjoy the challenge. I recommend these products to any and all.

I Spy Junior

My son is a few months shy of three, and his loves I Spy Junior. There are enough different games to play to keep him interested for an extended length of time (up to 30 minutes), and he wants to play it again the next day. He has not tired of it yet and we have had it for 2 months (a long time at this age). It has improved his concentration, eye-hand coordination, color and number recognition and how to follow directions. It keeps an adult's interest, too.
