What is Katie's Farm?

The sequel to McGee is another easy-to-navigate exploration game for toddlers.

In this program, McGee's rambunctious cousin Katie introduces McGee to her farm. The two friends go fishing, berry-picking and haystack jumping. Katie animates a scarecrow for McGee, and their giggles resound throughout the program. Humor predominates in this program. As Katie hands the berries to McGee, he eats them on the spot, oblivious to the nearby berry basket. McGee watches a cow being milked, only to get milk squirted all over his face.

However, despite all the laughter, the farm also promotes a feeling of responsibility. Katie gathers eggs, and feeds the cats and hens. This program also stresses nature. Besides the natural quality of the farm itself, one of the panels focuses entirely on a tree filled with clambering squirrels and fledgling birds.
