Rating:  - Too old for new computers!
If you are thinking of buying this product be sure to check to see if your computer is compatible. We have a Mac OS X and the Tortoise and the Hare is too old a program for it. As far as we can tell it runs only on version 7. Don't be mislead by the fact that is says for Mac versions 7 or higher on the case, it is not true and I suspect it will be a similar situation for computers running Windows.
Rating:  - The Tortois and the Hare
When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved the listening option where the book is read to her on the computer, and she didn't have to do anything to "turn" the pages. Now that she's 3 years old, she loves the interactive option where she can click on the pages and see the animations move and make sounds.
Rating:  - Autistic Kid Loves It
My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this game.
We stumbled onto it originally in a "preview", included in some Arthur CD-ROM's, and I went and bought a used copy of the real thing.
She will play for hours, clicking on things and making them interact all over the place. She laughs hysterically sometimes, making the hare stumble through mud etc.
