 Lukewarm ReceptionSep 04, 2009
Let me begin by saying that my 3.5 year old daughter is familiar with Caillou and that she is devoted to his show on PBS. In addition, she is familiar with the mechanics of the computer, though even for a child she is something of a novice when it comes to computer games. That said, this game was a moderate success insofar as it somewhat held her attention and engaged her. Some of the games were a little advanced, even with my coaching. This is definitely a game that requires a large investment of parental time and interaction, at least at first. After about three weeks, though, she is not very enthused by the game and given the choice she would often rather play free games on [...]. I think that this game is good for reinforcing some basic skills like colors and shapes, but in regards to more advanced concepts like numbers it fails to really connect. Ultimately, it kept her busy, but I'm not sure that it really heightened her knowledge of the concepts that it advertises.

 Doesn't work on Mac; very basic gameDec 27, 2008
This software capitalizes on the popularity of "Caillou" with a basic product.
This game works better on a PC; on a Mac it's difficult to install and quits unexpectedly.
For preschoolers who enjoy playing computer games, this game might be very basic.
I would say it's for ages 2 to a young 3 yr old, but ironically that age may have trouble navigating through the game. The game pages are very basic and repetitious (e.g., the same picture is uncovered over and over; games repeat themselves which kids might quickly find boring).
Even on our PC we found the game to run fairly slow. All in all, there's much better software out there.

 Absolutely perfect!Dec 08, 2008
I bought this for my 3 year old son for his birthday in November. He's already a little obsessed with Caillou so I figured this would be a great way to encourage him to learn a little more using a character he already loves. Boy, has this gone above and beyond what I expected. He loves it, whole heartedly. He asks to play when he gets up and since he can start it on his own using the short cuts on the desktop of the computer, he can choose which one he wants to play. It doesn't take intricate mouse work (no dragging and dropping) so those little hands can quickly learn to do even that on their own. Recently he has taken to switching the language and playing everything in Spanish, which is fun.
These games are engaging, easy to understand and learn and so beautifully put together. All the favourite Caillou characters are there, including Rexy and Teddy, Leo, Clementine and Sarah!
I would highly recommend this product to anyone, it's just brilliant. I'm going to be buying the Caillou Ready to Read cd's as well!
Oh, I forgot to mention the great flash cards that come with the cd's. They're also full of all of the Caillou characters, are brightly coloured and full of fun pictures and colours. My 3 year old goes through them repeatedly, first because he liked to find people and now because he can name every letter, colour and number on every card!
