Rating:  - Wonderful for a 4 year old boy
This is our favorite game, by far. It has been played far more than Dr. Seuss kindergarten, Reader Rabbit kindergarten and the Tonka games. My son is a very active, adventurous four year old and this game keeps him interested while he learns. Unlike some of the other Reader Rabbit games, this game is more adventure, less knowledge being crammed down the throat, and I think that is why he enjoys it so much. He is learning lots, but it still feels like a game. He gets very excited about collecting ... Read More
Rating: - My 4 year old and I LOVE THIS
This engaged my 4 year old with learning activities and gave me detailed reports. It grew with him as he progressed, getting harder as he mastered the basics. The best software I have found yet (and we've tried a ton).
Rating:  - too lengthy to keep a 4 year olds attention

She'd start each segment with enthusiasm but it required doing the same thing over and over about 20 times to receive the "brillite" before you could go on to something else. It's just sitting on a shelf now...I'm sure there are better ones out there.

The opening movie-like sequence is just a flashy distraction that could have been better designed, replaced or excluded. My niece usually bypasses it with a click and goes straight to the menus.
The menu is interesting enough but some of the menu paths lead to the same place and ... Read More
Rating:  - some things done right, others not so good
We are a loyal Reader Rabbit family, having tried many children's software titles and consistently finding the RR series at least as good as any similar software and usually much better, but I would say this particular title is a mixed bag. On the positive side, the graphics are good, the characters are familiar and there is an overarching purpose (collecting brillites to plug into Mount Brill) that lends depth to a typically shallow gaming genre. On the not-so-positive side, the games are often ... Read More
