5.0 out of 5 stars nice story for children - they get excited and want to play it again and again
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018
I purchased this to get my twin grand nieces interested in the computer. They were 1 year old at the time. Once they clicked on something and these soft twinkley bells sounded, they wanted to keep clicking. They did not live with me, but they kept telling their mother and grandmother that hey wanted to come to my house and use the pc. I was magic. They are now 21 years old and wizards on the pc.

Just Grandma and Me CD-Rom -- I have triplet 4 year old children plus a 3 year child. They all love reading the book Just Grandma & me. When the CD-Rom arrived and they saw it on the computer, each child had a great time either just listening to the story being told to them or interacting with the story or playing with the sand on the beach. It was a great purchase and I know the children will be able to do even more with this CD like learning the words and reading. By watching the CD, they can now read the book to me!!!!!! Highly recommend.

Good delivery and warranty... what else do you need? Maybe someone that does not have a life and can waste time reviewing everything that Amazon sells.

I loved this as a little girl, I would definitely recommend it. It helped me learn how to read and also was able to try and learn Japanese with the alternate play. Great!

Just Me and My Grandma is another great Little Critter CD. I thought the multi-language aspect was a nice addition. The story is good and the animation when items were clicked on is great. There are also games to play. I think this CD is more appropriate for young children, rather that children in school. The quality is good, but the story and animation, as well as the number of choices available are not as entertaining or imaginative as the 'Just Me and My Mom' and 'Just Me and My Dad' computer programs. My son has been interested in 'Mom' & 'Dad' for nearly three years- but the 'Grandma' computer program only interested him for a few weeks. I think this is a great CD- but its' longevity is not as high as "Mom' and 'Dad'.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Warm Story
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2003
The reader reads this Mercer Mayer classic at a very slow pace. There are some cute surprises as the child clicks on parts of the drawings (mailbox opens, birds flutter etc.) and there is a limited sand castle building component among the choices, but I found the CD to be relatively slow as compared to other early learning CD's. The surprise was my grand daughter's reaction. This was one of her most frequently chosen items when we sat down to the computer together. Now 4 and more interrested in her alphabet and skills, the CD sits unchosen but it was probably her favorite at ages 2 and 3!

Update... We've passed it on to a great nephew who is now sharing it with HIS Grandma!

Further Update! I'd NEVER spend current price of $35 for it... It's a $10 value item.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works on XP some hints!
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2006
Well I was afraid when I installed it, because like other reviewers it stops when you press some objects in the game. Found the solution right click on the icon for the game. Choose properties then choose to run it on windows 2000! It works no problem. Its a fun story and you can make fun sand castles in the game. Its great for little kids my son is 3 and other games are to hard for him even blues goes to school. This is a nice game for children under 3, older than that they will play it once and then leave it on the shelf.

Just Grandma and Me was the first CD we happened to get for our not yet-2 y.o., who was of course too young to manipulate it. But we played with it together, and by "with" I mean it is not a game but a sort of enhanced flap book, where random object yield unexpected treats. The programs plays music, displays amusing animations, and so on. Most of all it's just simple fun, but also the most touching of the Just... series.
This is an easy choice as a straightforward and inexpensive title for younger children. Our 6 y.o. gets a kickk out of playing with it sometimes, though, and his 3 y.o. younger brother can manipulate it easily. A final note, I do wish this publisher and others had continued to include multilingual support -- here English, French, German, and in an earlier version Japanese -- and additional cost must be minimal, and it's really fun to hear the different renditions. If your first language is one of these "other" languages, you might prefer it for that reason as well.
