Computer Shopper, November 1997:<br />

"Reader Rabbit can take even the smallest schoolchildren to Camp Happy Tail, where they can learn <strong>and</strong> have<br />

fun <strong>with</strong>out getting homesick. The Learning Co.'s Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is part of a new line of<br />

multisubject educational programs. Kindergarten is designed for children aged 4 to 6, <strong>and</strong> offers excellent<br />

activities that reinforce reading, counting, <strong>and</strong> thinking skills.<br />

"Kids have to help Mat the Mouse find enough supplies to hold a campfire party. In what amounts to a high-tech<br />

scavenger hunt, children play a variety of amusing activities to obtain the necessary items, including food,<br />

decorations, <strong>and</strong> camping gear. When kids successfully find all the items, they get invited to attend an<br />

entertaining campfire party, complete <strong>with</strong> songs <strong>and</strong> stories.<br />

"The <strong>Number</strong> Lumber activity asks kids to count logs <strong>and</strong> rocks to help a friendly beaver cross a river. Another<br />

activity lets youngsters find different shapes, objects, letters, <strong>and</strong> numbers in a simple Concentration-style game,<br />

<strong>and</strong> locate an alarm clock by listening to directions: above, below, <strong>and</strong> right <strong>and</strong> left. Kids are also presented <strong>with</strong><br />

social situations in which they learn to share <strong>and</strong> be nice to others.<br />

"Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten has good graphics <strong>and</strong> animation <strong>and</strong> cute characters. The title resembles<br />

Creative Wonder's Get Set for Kindergarten Deluxe, which stars Sesame Street characters. In our testing,<br />

children preferred the Sesame Street title, but Reader Rabbit's Kindergarten is nevertheless an entertaining <strong>and</strong><br />

compelling program, <strong>with</strong> a solid educational basis."<br />
