Customer Reviews of Silly Noisy House

A "classic," in the most traditional and innovative sense
We don't talk much about the idea of "classic" or "defining example" in the context of CD-ROMS; they turn over so quickly, and we forget them, as we turn to newer, shinier bells and whistles. But like the books we take off the shelf again and again to read to our children, "Silly Noisy House" provides a defining moment. In a way, it makes me think of books like Goodnight Moon. Like this other treasure, Silly Noisy House provides wit and a magical combination of comforting familiarity and exciting surprises that come with frequent visits with it. My younger daughter, now ten, has loved it since she discovered it when she was about 3. Moving about the rooms of the house--going from room to room by discovering the slightly hidden house icon; painting--using the broad strokes reminiscent of the water paintings she could do in special books--and listening, all the while, to a classic nursery song or rhyme; leaping about in the bathroom--unrolling the toilet paper roll without fear of consequences; messing about in the kitchen--even routing around in the refrigerator, and making weird sanwiches: she's done it all. Over and over. And there's never been a dull--or conventional moment. Now, she takes great delight in having introduced Silly Noisy House to a new three year old. Like the classic it is, it has become something to revisit, to share, and to treasure. We've really loved it, and are very happy to see it available here. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful, fun interactive CD for young kids.
"Silly Noisy House" is a really fun collection of interactive nursery rhymes, music, and little jokes that area easy for kids to learn, use (even very young ones) and enjoy over and over again. It is an exploratory toy, in that a kid can "look around" and find things to play with, and can go to different places in the house.

Besides begin well-designed, it has a very whimsical, light touch. It is a nice contrast to many games that involve loud noises, garish colors, and games involving hitting or shooting. Although I think the main goal is fun and entertainment, it probably helps young kids understand and get used to using a "point-and-click" computer interface, which I feel will be a life skill for anyone.

I hope this gets better distribution in the stores -- it seems to be the kind of product that is crowded out by less subtle (and lower quality) stuff.

A great game for any family...
