Amazon.co.uk Review
A great introduction to directed learning for toddlers, this is full of exciting sounds, shapes, colours, and beloved characters that are sure to delight any young fan of the Hundred Acre Wood. There are eight different areas for learning, all presented in a fun format of games and exploration. With 16 different skills to master, even the most precocious kids will find something to keep them busy. Especially entertaining are the parts of the program that deal with letters and numbers: children pop balloons to raise the characters higher, helping Pooh along the way. Another pleasant addition: the colouring book can be printed on regular paper, and there are Avery stickers and flashcards included.
From sing-alongs to opposites, all the activities are easy for toddlers to decipher, as icons are big enough to handle even for those just learning mouse skills. There are Pooh's house to explore, guessing games to play, and musical instruments to play--more than enough for a rainy afternoon or two. Kids will love it, and what they learn will please you too. --Jill Lightner --This text refers to the [Link removed - login to see] edition.

The graphics and music are beautiful, but the content and game play is shallow in these five activities that feature Winnie The Pooh and his friends.
In Popping Balloons, children match colors, shapes, letters and numerals as they help get a floating Pooh back to the ground. As each balloon is popped, a narrator labels a shape or number. Besides the labels, that's all there is to this activity, leaving children and adults alike wondering "what's the point?" Another activity has children clicking on items in Pooh's house in an effort to discover short skits to illustrate concepts like wet and dry, light and dark and so on. Once you've discovered everything, which we did in about ten minutes, the game is over.
Besides the limited content, several of the songs and introductions cannot be interrupted, forcing children to wait through explanations of what they're supposed to do. For toddlers we'd stick with Reader Rabbit's Toddler or JumpStart Toddler instead.
