User Submitted Caillou Ready for School (PC & Mac) ReviewsDate: 2008-12-27 Doesn't work on Mac; very basic game This software capitalizes on the popularity of "Caillou" with a basic product. This game works better on a PC; on a Mac it's difficult to install and quits unexpectedly. For preschoolers who enjoy playing computer games, this game might be very basic. I would say it's for ages 2 to a young 3 yr old, but ironically that age may have trouble navigating through the game. The game pages are very basic and repetitious (e.g., the same picture is uncovered over and over; games repeat themselves which kids might quickly find boring). Even on our PC we found the game to run fairly slow. All in all, there's much better software out there. Date: 2008-12-08 Absolutely perfect! I bought this for my 3 year old son for his birthday in November. He's already a little obsessed with Caillou so I figured this would be a great way to encourage him to learn a little more using a character he already loves. Boy, has this gone above and beyond what I expected. He loves it, whole heartedly. He asks to play when he gets up and since he can start it on his own using the short cuts on the desktop of the computer, he can choose which one he wants to play. It doesn't take intricate mouse work (no dragging and dropping) so those little hands can quickly learn to do even that on their own. Recently he has taken to switching the language and playing everything in Spanish, which is fun. These games are engaging, easy to understand and learn and so beautifully put together. All the favourite Caillou characters are there, including Rexy and Teddy, Leo, Clementine and Sarah! I would highly recommend this product to anyone, it's just brilliant. I'm going to be buying the Caillou Ready to Read cd's as well! Oh, I forgot to mention the great flash cards that come with the cd's. They're also full of all of the Caillou characters, are brightly coloured and full of fun pictures and colours. My 3 year old goes through them repeatedly, first because he liked to find people and now because he can name every letter, colour and number on every card! Date: 2008-08-02 Calliou PC I was very pleased with this product,the price was amazing for over 100 different activities.Shipment was fast. Date: 2006-11-22 DOESNT WORK ON MAC OSX The game wont install on a Mac running OSX... Therefore, its not true that the game is Mac compatible. Date: 2006-11-05 Good Value I bought from best buy where box listed for $19.95 but rang up $9.95. The games are age appropriate. Could have used simple gaming tricks for more variety which is why not 5 stars. The activity sheets are very good. Two sets of flash cards for numbers 1-100 and upper case and lower case alphabet were unexected and extremely helpful for kindergarten prep. I sit with my child while he's on the computer so whether he can read or not to follow the directions is not an issue. However if your comparing to Candy Land like games which a young child can do entirely on their own, the Caillou does need adult supervision.
