 A Mind of It's Own. Ugh. May 27, 2009
mom2jjorion (S Metro Atlanta, GA)
You must have the CD in to play! Not very cool. Although my biggest peeve (and main reason for 2 (instead of 3) stars) is that every time this program is ran it changes appearance settings and messes with resolutions.
Yeah, I should've paid more attention to the description. I'm really not interested in buying and owning software that is nearly a decade old. But alas...
 Fun Time for Everyone January 29, 2009

The Reader Rabbit series has been a long time favorite for our family. Play time is great fun, our 2 year old, she just crawls in may lap and plays. The software locks out keys that will cause problems and it works on our Vista systems and well and Windows XP systems.

Raising a Happy Child (Northern California)
I started playing with my daughter on the computer at the age of about 8 months. Our favorite site is www.starfall.com, which has wonderful activities to help children learn how to read. However, after spending a year on starfall, I was craving for something new. After reading some research, I settled on Reader Rabbit game. We've been playing it for about a month now, about 20 min a day. I am not a big fan of letting toddlers to be rewarded for random hit on the keyboard, that's why I gave this game 4 stars and not five. We don't use this feature, and Anna is not interested in the computer mouse yet, so I do all the moving around while she tells me where she wants to go. Her initial favorite was choo-choo train with letters, then it changed to shapes place and to coloring place. She is still not interested in any mini-games that involve animals. She knows all the animals and can do all the sounds, but for whatever reason anything that involves animals (unless they happen to be kitties) doesn't interest her at all.
Despite this game having engaging graphics, Starfall stays her favorite. We always spend at least 10 more minutes there before her computer time is over.
A Great Introduction to Computer May 15, 2008
Ayodele Mellor (Wilmington, NC USA)
I bought this for my son and also to use in my home daycare. The children (ages 1-3) all love it. There are a variety of games to choose from and I really like how the mouse is optional. Even a baby can play this, since it is controlled by pushing keys.
The favorite game seems to be the ABC train, which I really like. I think it helps reinforce the alphabet and letter recognition. The coloring is fun, and keeps the kids interest but also incorporates ABCs and counting. The Bubble Castle is also a favorite, although I think it seems a little boring, the children like watching the bubbles pop and seeing the dragon count to five. The fingerplays are cute, as are the baby basket bingo games. I have seem my kids follow along during the finger plays.
The neat thing is that there is also a baby version on this same CD; we rarely use the baby games since my kids are all one and up but I have checked it out and it looks neat. I highly recommend this. I don't think you would be disappointed with this purchase, unless your child is over age three. I have a three year old who plays it, but I do think something a little more advanced would be more appropriate. This is perfect for babies to age 3.
