Hearing this makes me cry. So many memories. It automatically takes me back from fifteen years ago.

[@jasonhicks4200]

[@luisBBKING]

[@crimsonclover3892]

I know, it takes you back to innocence or something

[@asrieldreemur1764]

*_FUCK YES DUDE-_*

[@DH2007able]

I still remember the day my Dad came home with our family's first computer and this was the first game we played.

[@chatchak2025]

Absolutely. Thank you Living Books for doing this. You never know,...we are from Hong Kong, and this education series could go that far across oceans to us. Thank you.

[@meooowww3672]

holy crap, i used to literally play this game so much when i was much more younger. i love it... nostalgia

[@JTValor24]

the crunchy hotdog noises do it for me. Can not forget that noise.

[@alexivyab]

@@JTValor24 YES

[@prh6152]

Watching this and seeing everyone’s comments remembering these games is giving me so much nostalgia.

[@andrewparke1764]

I haven't felt so thoroughly 1996 in 20 years. Thank you!

[@narufanslatinos4121]

Me too friend, this is game was my favorite since 4 years

[@Nin10dohgirl1]

OMG YES!! THANK THE LORD!! TWT I thought I was the only one who remembered Living Books and Mercer Mayer's Little Critter series!! Oh, God, my childhood's rushing back to me again......Thank you!! Thank you so much for these playthrough videos!! For restoring my childhood memories!! If only I could just reach out and hug you!......

[@segachildstarspawn2624]

I remember this while I was in Senior Kindergarten. However I don't normally have the chance to play it, even when it's supposed to be my turn.

[@marylynnleslie537]

Nin10dohgirl1 I still have this cassette tape from my childhood. I don't know where the book is that came with the cassette. It was one of my favorites and have listened with my daughters.

[@henrythepurplepoodledog612]

Same. I remember I used read that on computer along with Arthur and Cat and the Hat as 2nd grader during 2002/2003 back then.

[@chatchak2025]

Yes. Totally agreed. Seeing my girls growing up with love and kindness, Living Books has contributed. Thank you.

[@gahdamnrb]

My gradmother died a few days ago and this takes me back to when I was little. I used to play this in excitement whenever I heard she was coming to visit. I also had the book. Thank you for sharing this.

[@TriciaLockhart]

These books are just brilliant; so much creativity and magic. My eldest granbdaughter (now 20) loved this so I have tried to find a copy for my youngest grandaughter and was disappointed that the iPad version I found had removed the magic just to show the words - helpful for young readers but what a loss. magical moments such are these are what memories and nostralgia is about. Creativity is the hardest thing to teach so good examples should be treasured. Thanks for this. I'll try and see if there is a better version for iPad than the one I have found so far.

[@Dav1d27-x4j]

Tricia Lockhart www.amazon.com/Just-Grandma-Me-OLD-VERSION/dp/B000030EY6#customerReviews you can still find the old version, unsure if it is playable on the iPad though (since I don't own one)

[@pinokosthewife]

Do you mean the Let Me Play option? I'm pretty sure it's still an option, Read to Me being the other. ^^ I'm unsure if some stories don't have those, but as far as I know they kept the clickable surprises in all the other stories!

[@arilevitt2385]

This is the first Living Books game I’ve ever played! This takes me all the way back to my preschool days!

[@shav972]

i used to play this on the library computer everytime i went there. This brings back so much nostalgia from 10-12 years ago

[@2nasalad]

the crunching sound when they eat the hotdog brainwashed me into thinking hotdogs should be crunchy and it’s stuck with me for 20 years

[@alinapuig188]

i thought i was the only one that remembered playing this game. thank the lord

[@emie0917]

I love this n played it so many times when I was young. I want to play this again!

[@RastaGarf]

These were my childhood growing up in the mid 2000s. my dad would let me onto his Mac after school, and I would open these almost every day

[@Fallon144]

Man, I learned so much English through this as a second language. Good memories!

[@GroundMemory]

Wow... this takes me all the way back to elementary school... I remember having so much fun playing around on the pages. Making the fence dance up to grandma and seeing her reaction just now.. feels like a memory was unlocked through emotion. I remember repeating that over and over because it was so funny to me, I just laughed like a kid :)

[@kettlecookedjalapenochips]

Sobbing. What a time to be alive. I’m so glad so many of us played this

[@jonathanmendoza2319]

Which One?

[@MothraBlues]

THANK YOU so much for sharing this utterly charming & totally hilarious 'Living Book' classic, ARARN - still Certified 100% FRESH after all these years! My dad (aka 'Opa') bought this CDRom back in 1997 to entertain my son & my niece, but I think I probably spent more time clicking on it than THEY did each time we visited 'the olds'! LoL. Btw, one thing that only just occurred to me re-watching it: do hot-dogs constitute 'Good Good Good! Food Food Food!'??? Who cares - great beach food, woteva my nutritionist (aka 'My Wife') might think... Cheers! :-)

[@RagingRougarou]

Oh the nostalgia! My childhood memories are rushing back to me, it’s so amazing to find videos like these!!!

[@Seethi_C]

Did anyone ever get a massive craving for those hot dogs at 11:28?

[@meooowww3672]

i did lmao!

[@HinataElyonToph]

I always ate pickles when I played this cause they made that crunchy noise

[@sam-ys9bp]

I was hoping to find a comment saying this, because I ALWAYS did.

[@zekecasperanddeadpoolzgroovyst]

Seethi C (Ezekiel) Zeke Hamish Beckley: Yep! And look at that derpy looking dog just staring at the two of them eat their food. If I was eating hot dogs in front of that dork derp of a dog I would of told him to... *"SCAT!!! DON'T YOU KNOW WE ARE EATING SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER YOUR OWN KIND GO ON, GO ON HIT THE TRAIL ROAD BUCKO GET GOING SHOO!! THERE ARE NO DOGS ALOWED ON THE BEACH GO ON SCRAM!!!"*

[@ReubenAshwell]

Nope not me, they were washed in the sea which is very unhygenic.

[@21350ctw]

Ugh such a satisfying childhood memory 😪 wish i can go back in time I miss being a kid

[@21350ctw]

11:34 Wow they couldn't depict a more accurate expression, such good art quality

[@DeviIInADress]

I’ve been trying to remember this book series for so many years!! I used to play this with my grandma on her computer in the late 90s ☺️

[@Supreme-Fishy]

11:01- 11:31 The only thing I can remember this story is the hot dogs scene so iconic 🌭🥤 This is a childhood masterpiece

[@brittycritty]

That scene is very iconic!

[@beerwolf8518]

Randomly thought of this today. I was very young when I played this. Great game. Thanks to whoever took time to post this. I'm well into being an adult now almost halfway through life. I'll always remember that sign towards the end of the video that says 'good food' three times. I was literally at dinner thinking of that.

[@mewsamus13]

I have so many fond memories of game/books like these.

[@Andrew-ze6kq]

I remember playing this game in kindergarten in my tutors office. This is nothing but childhood memories up the ass. So nostalgic to see these things again.

[@malloryweeks3306]

I remember in elementary school I would wait for my tutor to get done with school or whatever and she had this and many other computer games to play. This brings back memories

[@GeronimoClawz]

This was so fun back in elementary school!!! Me and my classmates had a blast playing this!!

[@himynameisbrooke]

I’ve been trying to remember what this game was for years! I finally found it! This was my favorite computer game as a kid!!

[@xfirefoxy]

So happy to find this play list with all the story's! I used to watch/play them repeatedly.

[@Graaaaaar]

My mom saw me watching this and couldn't stop laughing, she traveled to my childhood as well when she kept me busy for an entire day with one of these. Thank you :')

[@AK-zq7vr]

I can’t believe I forgot about this game. I’ve just seen an animation that looked like the characters iPad and I thought I used to play a game that looked like that snd im so glad I have found this it is so nostalgic. Over 20 years ago!!!

[@kaylamoore1551]

[@PrincessMeganElsaBoo]

Use to Play this All the Time when i was a kid LOL!!! So obsessed haha 😂😂😂😍😘

[@TheRojo387]

10:22 was my favourite part of the book growing up, where the rabbit and cattle's pingpong ball hit the crab, causing it eyes to whirl round and round!

[@gaspar30]

AAAAAAH my mom remind me of this, I used to play this when I was a kid. This is sooooo cute.

[@carlymara88]

I sorta amused myself clicking on the flowers where the bee lands on Little Critter, he's gives the 'oh crap' look and then I just click back to main menu, so that it's fading out with Critter's face like that 😆...😅 it was kinda funny at the time.

[@quizmaster85]

"Nice hat, Mom!" - I almost forgot about that moment! :)

[@tomedy_official]

Females don't even have horns

[@IsaacMperez-kr6db]

I remember that home computer at school when I was a child

[@xDanieruhuli]

[@shakushki]

woah - such a blast from the past.. I played this game sooooo much

[@ReturnofTheBunny]

We had this game in the summer school program I went to when I was 9 (I think). We played it all the time, and it's the only full Living Books game I've had a chance to play, sadly. Thanks for uploading all of these.

[@moatguy]

5:10 The bird's like "Hey a little privacy please?!

[@ZakWolf]

Heh, it's kind of cute how Grandma and Little Critter are voiced by Mark Schlichting and his son Aaron! I always thought Grandma's "Oh my!" at 9:17 sounded kind of like Marge Simpson.

[@ryanr.3925]

Only 90,s kids can really appreciate this . Who else remembers magic school bus inside the human body ? Or how about the arthur games and put put .

[@butadreamforthedead]

Right in the feels T.T still resentful for being forced to give these away... I miss these games so much, they don't make them like this anymore such a shame. Thank you so much for uploading this tearing up from the nostalgia.

[@dkwstudiosoldchannel6399]

[@Ali_Empress]

My old elementary school put us in programs to read and listen more better. They put us in head sets that waa kinda like vr and we just played through it like this. I remembered it cause it was a childhood memory I loved

[@scottt5088]

I guess technology has come a ways in 25 years, hasn't it? I used to watch this with my son when he was very young, maybe 2. He remembered the intro song immediately when I played it :)

[@wonderhearts9273]

It reminds me of "The Busy World Of Richard Scarry." 13:12

[@imanmohamed8713]

Omg I loved this so much as a child! The music 😍😍😍

[@kookumsalix]

the crunching as they eat the hot dog is ingrained in my memory
