| The age range recommend by the publisher is 3-7 and was first copyrighted/ published in 1995. It didn't look it they made any changes/ improvements at all. I bought this for my science loving 5-year and I was quickly disappointed. The window the game was quite small and didn't take up the entire computer screen which made it eye straining to see. The graphics and animations were old and not very interactive. A child can do a lot clicking here or there to sort and sequence but it doesn't explain much to satisfy a 5-year old curiosity. PBS[...] website has better well thought-out science activities than Sammy's Science House. |

| The web site indicates this will work with newer versions of Win but it does NOT work with Win 7 - which is all there is now a days. The web site does not indicatre that now - how odd is that. We wasted money because we only havec WIN 7 and now our lkittle child has NOTHING and we have useless software. Do NOT buy this if you have a new laptop or computer. Also, we loaded this on our OLD computer with an old version of Win and looked at it and it is terribly basic stuff - maybe 3 or 4 year old, but 5 and 6 year olds will be bored. |

| This is one of the best learning games I've purchased. My 7 year old has been using it for over 4 hours, and he doesn't even realize it's a learning game. That's the best kind! |

| My kids love this program. Even my older kids will play it sometimes. It's fun and it is organized so that the learning is intuitive and enjoyable. The kids don't know they're learning, they think they're just playing. |
| Old fashioned look, but great fun and learning | 2007-12-26 | 4 / 5 |

My favorites on this disc of many worthwhile games are (1) they give you a "blueprint" of a train or something, and you build it out of its pieces, and (2) a nature scene where you click on different animals and plants and it talks about them. You can do the scene in each of 4 seasons, each with different details.
There is nothing visually stunning about this game. It doesn't load pages fast, and is pretty all-around low-tech. But it holds my 4 year old's attention and I feel that she is learning from it. Based on my experience with this, I probably won't buy more Sammy's House series games, but I don't regret this purchase. |
