 Best software for Preschoolers, 2004-11-30
My son loves all the Putt-Putt and Freddi Fish and I'm not ashamed to say I kinda like 'em too! I am amazed at how well he learned to navigate and remember where items were. My mom is a retired elementary-school teacher and she is amazed at all the skills that this reinforces - math, reading, language, manners, problem-solving, listening, map reading, memory, music, etc.

Even fun for a toddler, 2004-02-17
My son is only 29 months and too young to really understand the game, but he still loves it. There's enough stuff to just click on and look at. He loves driving around, picking up milk-shakes and soda bottles. He loves the library with the book of rare animals and loves putting different numbers on the flag. We figure he'll just have fun now and in a year or two, he'll actually play the game. I will say when he was busy doing something else, we kind of snuck in and removed a few obstacles for him. Okay, I'll be honest. We didn't actually do it for him. My husband and I can't keep our hands off the game. And then my mother came over and she couldn't stop playing either.+ So, I'll say it's a great game whether you're almost 2 1/2 or 55-years-old.

Wonderful Game for your 4-7 year old!, 2004-01-02
My 5 1/2 year old daughter has almost all of the Putt-Putt Series, and LOVES them! Keeps her entertained for Hrs. by also teaching her different skills like memory and listening that she will benefit from as she grows. This is a Definite Recommendation for any child in this age group who loves to play computer games and learn!

excellent software for kids ready for more advanced games, 2003-11-06
If your child has played Reader Rabbit and JumpStart and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help their friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play games as they complete the larger tasks. In Putt-Putt Enters the Race, the overarching goal is to collect the items needed so Putt-Putt can run in the big race, but along the way he will recycle bottles to collect money to buy his tires, visit the library to find out about an animal that needs help, etc. Specifics change if you start a new game, and as other reviewers have stated, you may want to play with your child a few times before they'll be able to enjoy it on their own, so each game is good for hours of fun.This is a fine game in a great series. We have 5 Putt-Putt titles and enjoy them all.
