Summary: Might like it if we could USE it
Comment: Bought the ABC and Green Eggs and Ham cds (they came as a set). Could not load GE&H on my hubby's laptop (running XP) without hanging, so we tried my desktop (running Vista). It loaded, and runs, but continues to hang on occasion. ABC is worse; we can't get past the letter B before it hangs. Both computers have more then enough RAM, OS are listed as compatible, etc. It gets one star 'cause we can run GE&H most of the time, and my 3 1/2 yr old LURVES it.

Summary: Software is NOT compatible with OS X 10.5
Comment: Here are the documented system requirements as shown to a customer:
# Macintosh:
# Power Mac
# 68020 or faster processor
# 8 MB RAM
# 80 MB hard disk space
# 2x or faster CD-ROM drive
# 256-color or better video display
# Mouse
My computer meets these requirements. However after receiving the CD a key system requirement was identified:
OS 7.5 - 9
Hmmm wait a minute. OS X (10.5.1) Leopard no longer supports OS 9!
When you insert this CD you will get:
You can't open the application "Dr. Seuss's ABC" because the Classic environment is no longer supported
The little apple compatibility icon needs to be updated to reflect reality.

Summary: Excellent dvd for students!
Comment: I teach mentally retarded adults and a program I found that really works with my students is Dr. Seuss Living Books ABC on CD-ROM. My daughter, who is 6, prefers to have the use of a mouse to play on the program, but many of my students who have problems using a mouse, prefer to have the book read out loud to them. Either way, this CD-ROM both teaches and entertains!

Summary: It might as well just be a video
Comment: My 3-yr old daughter is entertained by this, but as we watched it, I couldn't help but wonder why it is sold as software rather than just a DVD you would watch on the TV. It's almost entirely non-interactive. The menu includes options to either have the story read to you, or to "play now", the latter presumably being the interactive option. But, from what I can tell, both options do exactly the same thing, which is to read the story from A to Z with on-screen animation.
