Pros
Integration with photos, adjustable settings to have either more pics, more shapes or more letters/numbers appear.
Cons
Shapes and numbers could be designed better... but really, there's no cons to this product.
Summary
Lets toddlers use your computer without messing it up.

Pros
Lets infants/toddlers feel like they're using the computer, too. (Supervision still needed as they can be rough with the keyboard.) Computerized voice helps kids learn shapes and letters. My two year old knows what an octagon is!
Cons
Doesn't disable hardware buttons (volume, etc.) so the little ones can still turn off the screen, or crank the volume all the way up.
Summary
Engaging and possibly educational

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />My kids have enjoyed this since they were 1 (all still less than 3.5 yrs). Even in the earlier more primitive versions. The relatively recent speak-the-letter functionality is wonderful. Kudos to the author.
My kid loves it.

Excellent

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Great piece of software with neat customization features. My 3 year old is just learning to use the mouse and it kept him entertained for 20 minutes last night. He was very proud of himself to finally be able to do something with the mouse! Thanks!
Excellent in every respect. Thanks!!

What a genius idea.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm sure most programmers could have executed this simple app, but just having thought of it deserves a lot of respect. My wife, myself and the staff at our creative agency are all hooked on it and my 20 month old daughter was ecstatic as she finally found something on the computer that made sense to her, was a lot of fun as well as being educational. Thank you Laura Dickey. (for the adult babies, would it be possible to add a clear screen key combination?) And, I think this would make a very cool screensaver.
