Dr. Seuss Toddler

The goal of the program is to visit each character and help them in various skill-based tasks. Each lesson is accompanied by rhymed directions and energetic music--entertaining to more than today's current kids, to those who remember growing up with Dr. Seuss.

For those who are buying the software for their toddler, your child will use the mouse to complete each task, after which he or she is awarded an item to place on a personalized printable hat. Parents will want to remember that the use of a mouse may be too complicated for younger toddlers, depending on their child's level of hand-eye coordination, and helpful supervision is a must.

Also included is software for a printable workbook, filled with activities involving matching, coloring, and shape recognition. While this workbook provides away-from-the-computer activities, many of the projects are repetitive and may only be truly appreciated when a color printer is used.

All in all, we enjoyed this program. The rhymes and music, accompanied by the traditional Dr. Seuss graphics, brought smiles to our faces. The cute characters, funny animations, and dear-old Cat in the Hat will keep children entertained for hours. --Jill Lightner
