I got this for my four and a half year old daughter. It is very educational. You earn instrument pieces along the way so that makes it exciting. It takes a long time to earn all the instruments and you start off where you left off each time. Sometimes she gets frustrated and I have to help her along. All in all it is very fun. She asks to play it. It also has a section for art activities and music activities.

After all these years and all these games, this one was the game that I remembered the most. Age 15 now, I played this game all the time when I was a mere 2 years old.
I just thought I should share. I just rediscovered the game again after remembering bits and pieces like the name "Babs" and some kind of forest.
Although that was 1997 and I'm sure games for children have evolved very much, this game holds many fond memories for me.

I bought this program for my child over 3 years ago, my computer doesn't install it. I use Windows XP profesional with SP1. I have other programs of the Learning Company, the one who makes this one and had no problems with instalation, only with this one.

This game was purchased for my 4 year old daughter and now I can't get on the computer! She absolutely loves it. She is so proud of herself. She has yet to ask for assistance, so it is very age appropriate. Very highly recommended!

The kids like it and it helps them to learn. They used it for a couple of weeks, then got bored of it. It got them interested in letters and numbers though. It's a good change of pace from hand written learning activities.

This is an excellent software for children who love to use the computer and learn while they are playing. We own Reader Rabbit from Preschool through Second Grade and my kids love it.

I couldn't get this to run on my XP machine. The technical support on the web site was useless, and there is no human technical support available for this product. My 5-year-old (who loved RR Baby and Toddler) called it a piece of junk.

I bought the French Reader Rabbit for reading for my daughter and they were great. I figured that I would try the English version of the kidergarten program for my 3.5 year old son. All the games have a lot of repetitions in them. My son found the pace very slow and soon got very tired of the fact that one has to do all the exercises to get the instruemnt pieces. He played it once and did not want to do it again. Don't bother if your child is about average intelligence. I have some old Curious George and Dr. Suess CD's that does not work with XP. My son had a go with them before I got the new operating system and I will certainly try to get updated versions of those for him instead.
