5.0 out of 5 stars Very educational for the kids, February 11, 2006

By	Jenny J.J.I. "A New Yorker" (That Lives in Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This program can be used with very little, if any, adult intervention. Graphics are large, clear and attractive, and the goal-oriented storyline is easy to follow and compelling. My kids were impressed by the many animal characters included in the program, and were often observed giggling at and speaking to them. Activities are easily understood and complete, but become a bit tedious, and their repetitive nature may annoy the less patient player. Featuring a "summer camp" theme, Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is an entertaining, fully animated adventure in which the user must help friends Reader Rabbit and Mat the Mouse gather supplies for the campfire party at 'Camp Happy Tails'. As with the younger age titles in this series, to achieve this goal, the child must master 4 sequential levels of each of 4 skill-building activities.

This program installed with a click of the mouse. The manual or "handbook" not only explains the program itself, which for the most part is easy to use and requires no explanation, but also provides insights into the educational bases for each included activity. Song lyrics can also be found in appendix. With its engaging animation and structured yet entertaining activities.

Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is a good bet for the kindergarten-aged child with an interest in computer-based skill building and an adequate attention span.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my daughter's favorites, December 6, 2006

By	Ann L. Morris "avid reader" (Drexel Hill, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I will just add on to the previous review. I got this game for my 4 year old, but since she has been using the computer since a little under 3 I figured she was ready, and she really does love it. Unlike other similar games it doesn't have a really fast easy ending. Finding all of the supplies by completing all of the sections takes a lot of time. She played it often for a few months, but she is now onto other games. It was really worth the money, mostly because the harder sections will be there when she is ready for them (math).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, January 27, 2009

By	Peter Blokhuis (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was my daughter's favorite game by far between the ages of 3-5. She liked it more than the First Grade Reader Rabbit even when she was in first grade! The game has a lot of depth to it so it doesn't get repetitious. The many touches of humor throughout allow it lots of repeat playing.
It is educational, although kids don't even realize it. I liked the parental progress monitor that allows you to see how your child has progressed in each of the areas of learning, (matching, counting, reading etc.)
My daughter had access to other games like Franklin the Turtle, Little Bear, Dinosaur 3D ond others but this was far and away the favorite. My choice for best computer game for this age group.
