 Great for children, but a real pain to set up and use November 30, 2008
R. W. Russell (Lodi, CA United States)
As other reviewers have stated, it's an excellent interactive learning experience for your child. I give it 4 or 5 stars on that alone. But I was dismayed to find that the setup process stuck an AOL promotion on my desktop (my other Reader Rabbit programs also did it). And of course, the unwelcome desktop icon was just a shortcut; I had to search in the Programs folder for the AOL executable file in order to delete it.
This sort of thing is not terribly unusual with free applications that you download from the Internet, but when I pay money for a program, I don't expect it to invade my computer with adware junk.
Another problem is that once you've started one of the programs running, there's no way to back out of it or shut it down before it quits. There's no right-click menu with a Cancel button or anything like that. Very inconvenient if you're simply giving a program a quick test. I had to use the Windows CTRL-ALT-DEL trick to shut it down in midstream.
Still another gripe: the install process does not put the entire disc on your hard drive. To run the program, you have to insert it in your CD or DVD drive before starting it from the Program menu. Remember computers in 1980 with 2 floppy discs to make anything work?
Bottom line: great for the kid, but a pain in the behind for whoever does computers in your home.

We got this game since our boy will be going to Kindergarten this fall. The description said it was XP compatible - but it won't even load.
 Time well spent!!! January 31, 2006

Its tough finding something for kids to play while not spending a fortune and wasting brain space on senseless games. The Reader Rabbit series are great because they offer great ways to learn while keeping things simple and fun in a cartoon-like format. The software is easy to install and I found that my six year old could easily navigate the program without getting stuck. She sat on it for hours along with her brother!!
The software is easy to install and I found that my 1st grader could easily navigate the program without getting stuck. ... I was surprised to see the fun she had with the program and look forward to purchasing further copies.
Reader Rabbit is Fun November 1, 2003

My four year old can do this with very little help. It is a great program. There are matching problems, problem solving games, introduction to time, and more. Children have to work through a variety of games and activities to earn things for a final event. It keeps them occupied and working towards a goal. That is great. I really enjoy the Reader Rabbit programs and this one is no exception. Enjoy.
