"Motivational and a Positive Influence"
My four-year-old plays more than 30 educational software games on a monthly basis (sometimes three a day before school in the morning and before bed at night). This one is a favorite of hers and so it is at the front of the CD-ROM Album. She started at the easy level more than a year ago and now she always does the hard levels. I (father) like the music and the navigation is much simpler than most programs provide. It still surprises me that she chooses to play it even though she mastered it long ago, but I can see that it teaches her good manners and sensitivity to others so I am happy to have the "Clifford influence" in her upbringing.

"Clifford is my hero!"
I bought this CD for my 3.5 year old daughter, and she loved it from the first day. I just gave her the basic instructions to get her started on it and then she wanted to do it independently. Mostly she figured out what to do even before I could! The game starts with Emily Elizabeth planning for Clifford's birthday party for which she must get certain tasks done, like tidying up the yard by matching pairs of objects or icing the birthday cake. Clifford gets into trouble at times and at others he rescues others from trouble. It prompts the child to think logically and develops reasoning power and is great fun at the same time. It lets you learn at your own pace too. More than anything else, I think Clifford is one of the nicer animated character out there that really teaches young children to be kind to others and care about them. The game reflects this attitude too. In fact my daughter has now outgrown Clifford on TV and moved on to Powerpuff Girls but I still love the big red dog!

The only problem with this CD-Rom was that my daughter got so hooked on it that she would play it non stop and beg me to let her keep playing when I tried to stop her as I did not want her to stare at the computer screen for too long. By age 4 she had played it many many times at the hardest level. Even now, at age 4.5 she pulls it out once in a while.

"Clifford The Big Red Dog Thinking Adventures"
This is a good learning game for pre-school and kindergarden children. Scholastic does a good job teaching children things like colors and the alphabet. My 6 year daughter plays this game a lot and she really likes it.

"Best Game so far..."
I've have about 10 computer games for my 2½ year old grand-daughter and out of them all, this is the one she likes the best and begs to play everytime she comes over. She has it mastered on the easy level. She loves looking for the jewels and finding the ladder to save the groomer. Digging in Clifford's back yard to find the matching objects, and putting the groceries back on the shelf that Clifford has knocked over are other favorites. She loves decorating the cake and giving Clifford a bath and will sometimes go back and do it a second time in the same game. She has learned to hit the "ESCAPE" button to quicken the game along and skip all the talking to get playing the games! I like the fact that it is different every time. I would highly recommend this game and think she will be playing it for quite some time.

"Great for a Four-Year-Old"
My son got this for his fourth birthday. At first it was a little difficult for him; there aren't any clues as to what to do to play the game. But, once I read the instruction booklet and sat down with him to play once or twice, he can do it fine. My seven-year-old really likes it, too. My kids and their friends really like it.
