Amazon.com Review
Graced with the most adorable voice since the animated Linus, Mercer Mayer's Little Critter has become one of the most popular interactive storybook characters around. In this classic title, L.C. and his Dad head off on a multimedia camping trip that features dozens of clickable images, merry songs, and a 22-minute, Critter-made video. The staying power of this quiet, technically unremarkable CD-ROM lies in the consistent, reassuring message it delivers. On each page, there are both adorable clickables (dancing chipmunks, sunbathing mice) and surprising and/or spooky ones (volcanic eruptions, rearing sharks, burning logs that launch skyward like rockets). As well, Little Critter's own internal world is a mixture of eager joy (tents! hiking boots!) to huge, looming fear (of the legendary "Big Paw"). In the company of his dad for the weekend, however, Little Critter undergoes an important shift. By story's end, his fearfulness has been gently replaced by newfound confidence and acceptance. A must-have classic for all families. (Ages 3-8) --Jean Lenihan

 My Daughter and the Computer July 15, 2006
Catt (Kansas)
My 2 year old daughter just loves "Just me and my mom". My grandmother bought it for my little sister and she is now 10. The CD that I have is for the Mac. and it works on my brand new Windows XP. It won't let me install it, but I got it to work.
Whenever I turn on the computer she comes to me and says "me and my mom". So the first thing that I do before I can do anything else is let her do her thing with the computer. I also have "Just me and my Grandma" but I haven't tried it on the computer yet. I hope that it works cause my mom comes and stays with her when I'm at work.

I'm amazed to see so many positive reviews. We've tried this on at least two computers, under Windows 98 and 98 SE, and it crashed a lot on both of them. On our current Win 98 SE computer, it crashes once per page at least, making the program effectively unusable. Sadly no patch is available.
As another reviewer points out, it doesn't autoplay when you insert the disk.

Its another great Mercer Mayer game. They should make more. I love them all, but the others do work on XP. This will not work. I was able to run the movie, but not the game on XP. Children under 3 will like it!

This item is rated for 3-7 years old. However with this age group it does not automatically run when placed in the CD Drive. This make it impossible for the younger this age group is to use on their own. It seems an auto run command should be used on software used for children to provide them with hassle free use of the product.
If it does't run what use is it no matter who the writer is. I have Windows 2000.

Just me and my Dad is an excellent children's book, and this software version does an excellent job of reading it. I bought it mainly to help my 5 year old son learn to read, and I find it very useful. However, it gave me tremendous frustration at first when I couldn't get it to run at all on my one year old Windows XP machine. I own many children's software, such as the Magic school bus series, Jump Start, Reader Rabbit, DK software, and other Living Book series such as the Cat in the Hat, and they all run well or at least partially on my machine. This one doesn't open AT ALL, and every trick I used that worked in the past failed. Luckily, I was able to borrow a friend's computer with Windows 98, and it runs beautifully. My son particularly likes the little movie on it. It is surprisingly well done and captivates his attention. Highly recommended for those who can downgrade.
