I was so excited to get this four pack of games for my 3 year old son. We have the Reader Rabbit Toddler game and he has outgrown it, so i was excited to give him something new to challenge him and move him closer to being able to read. Unfortunately, we ended up returning this item for a full refund on the same day that we received it.

We have Windows 7... these games were created a long time ago and are not compatible with our current operating system. My husband is extremely computer savvy, builds our computers from parts and does some programming. He could not even get two of these games run properly.

The one game that we WERE able to install and run was the Reader Rabbit game. I played Reader Rabbit as a kid myself, and as i've mentioned, my son already has played the Toddler version and loved it. So i was shocked at how awful this Reade Rabbit is. The interface is horrible, it takes a LOT of clicking and waiting, clicking and waiting to even get to the games, and the "paths" to the games are not intuitive enough for my son to do on his own, meaning i have to stand over his shoulder the whole time. Once you DO get to the games most of them are either not fun or too difficult to figure out. I was sitting right there with him and i had trouble understanding some of the games, so how is my 3-year-old supposed to?? I actually have several other complaints about this product, but i think i've made my point. DO NOT waste your time or money on this package deal - you get what you pay for, so if $12 for 4 games seems too good to be true.... IT IS!
