Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Children practice their reading and phonics skills as they partake in this adventure to find the Land Where The Lions Roam Free. Joined by Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion, kids find a series of activities that teach and reinforce short and long vowels, consonant blends, vowel combinations, compound words and word families. These activities, once you figure out how to play them, provide solid skill practice. There are many directed activities (e.g. find the word with the ch sound like in lunch) as well as some open-ended areas like poetry writing. Graphics are very nice, and the characters and theme are appealing. The direct instruction provided by narration and animation is also very good. The program is flawed, however, in terms of design. It is not always clear how to get from one place or activity to the next, and some of the activities themselves are unintuitive to play-- children (and reviewers!) don't know what to do. Plan on lending your child a helping hand when they get stuck. Additional program features include printable progress reports and study words, plus a skill practice mode. Note: This program comes bundled with a second CD, Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade Mis-cheese-ious Dreamship Adventures!, which is a previously released, fairly good reading adventure program.

3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating, May 27, 2005

We love Reader Rabbit/ Learning Company CD's, however, this one is so frustrating to the kids... and parents! There is no back button to go to other games, the child plays whatever game they happen to enter into and it never ends. When you DECIDE to end it, you literally have to close out. The parent has to plan on sitting right by to constantly help out (excuse me, I happen to like when they are learning and I can finish my around the house stuff). I gave a 3 rating to be kind to RR/LC but really, this one is a bummer, do not recommend. Disappointed that LC allowed so many flaws to this package.

My 5 year old son loves this ! After I helped him understand how to navigate through the program, he became independant. The games are engaging and diverse. Even the difficult games have caught his attention. There's enough basic stuff to keep him busy and a few difficult games to challenge him. I do need to help him with those since he can't read yet but he learns a lot by trial and error. My daughter, who is 18 years, had this when she was little. Love it ! [...]
