Customer Reviews:

Very educational for the kids [Posted on 2006-02-12]
This program can be used with very little, if any, adult intervention. Graphics are large, clear and attractive, and the goal-oriented storyline is easy to follow and compelling. My kids were impressed by the many animal characters included in the program, and were often observed giggling at and speaking to them. Activities are easily understood and complete, but become a bit tedious, and their repetitive nature may annoy the less patient player. Featuring a "summer camp" theme, Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is an entertaining, fully animated adventure in which the user must help friends Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse gather supplies for the campfire party at 'Camp Happy Tails'. As with the younger age titles in this series, to achieve this goal, the child must master 4 sequential levels of each of 4 skill-building activities.

This program installed with a click of the mouse. The manual or "handbook" not only explains the program itself, which for the most part is easy to use and requires no explanation, but also provides insights into the educational bases for each included activity. Song lyrics can also be found in appendix. With its engaging animation and structured yet entertaining activities.

Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is a good bet for the kindergarten-aged child with an interest in computer-based skill building and an adequate attention span.

One of my daughter's favorites [Posted on 2006-12-06]
I will just add on to the previous review. I got this game for my 4 year old, but since she has been using the computer since a little under 3 I figured she was ready, and she really does love it. Unlike other similar games it doesn't have a really fast easy ending. Finding all of the supplies by completing all of the sections takes a lot of time. She played it often for a few months, but she is now onto other games. It was really worth the money, mostly because the harder sections will be there when she is ready for them (math).
