 Terrific for the kids but with a few annoyances for the computer owner 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.
 Reader Rabbit 1st Grade November 17, 2008
T. Deal (Baraboo, WI United States)
My Grandson loves this! I've always liked the Reader Rabbits series and one again, it did not dissappoint. The math portion is so easy for them to understand, that once you show them how to figure it out, they are off and running. He really enjoys the money portion, making the faces really gets him to giggling and he's learning at the same time.
 Very good for building logic skills September 17, 2006

I tutor children for a living and I have found this software to be very good for building logic skills in children. It is stimulating to them and doesn't lose them by becoming difficult too quickly. This game is much better than it's math and reading counterparts. Although they are useful, they span too many levels at one time. I would say Thinking Adventures can be used as early as 3 years and still can remain challenging until 5 or 6 years of age. You can leave a child alone with this software for 2-10 minutes at a time (I would not recommend children playing on a computer for longer than this as they need physical stimulation), whereas most educational software for this age requires constant instruction from an adult.
My 3 year old learned to read with Reader Rabbit September 10, 2005

She basically taught herself to read using Reader Rabbit. Now she is five, and her kindergarten teacher says she reads on a third grade reading level.
I highly recommend the program.
My students love this game January 20, 2004

I work in a special education room in an elementary school. The kids in my room love this game. It has good skills on it, like reading, math, science, etc. It is also really fun.
