User Submitted Reader Rabbit Playtime for Baby and Toddler Reviews (cont...)Date: 2002-03-02 The Best First Computer Program For Any Child This is an amazing product. My 2-year old took hold of the mouse for the first time 10 days ago and hasn't let go since. During that time he has mastered every game on the CD, requiring some rather complicated matching and sorting, as well as precision mouse movements that I didn't think he was capable of. Since the activities as well as the main menu are all "click-free," my son has been free to roam and explore at his own pace -- his Dad and I haven't lifted a finger to help him. As a result, he has grown increasingly more interested in the increasingly more complicated activities. (We have probably shot 1 hour of video of this boy using the program and screaming with delight as he discovers a new ability)! More amazing still, the strides he's made with these games have translated into a greater sense of confidence and "control over his environment" away from the computer as well. I would recommend this program to any parent! Date: 2002-03-01 Greater starter CD for kids + educational I bought this for my 1.5 year old son and he has played it nearly every day for 6 months. Driving me crazy. So I picked up some other titles and really see that this one is special, none of the others come close to be as educational or interesting. He started out on the baby which is great that you don't need to use the mouse at all to play, just hit anywhere on the keyboard. On Toddler, you can get away without the mouse in many places but the mouse makes it more interesting and it has actually taught him how to move it to accomplish a task. He can navigate the scenes on his own and play all the games. It is great but he is starting to need to be challenged a bit more. Date: 2002-02-26 Great for the youngest computer users I have 2 kids: 5 1/2 and 2 1/2. When my older daughter was very little, Reader Rabbit Toddler was wonderful for her. It is the only program I know of where kids can just move the mouse around and not have to click to make things happen. (Dragging and Clicking is very difficult for kids just starting out). She had hours of fun with it while her confidence and mouse skills were developing. It is very age appropriate for the youngest computer users. Of course by now, she is on to much more advanced CDs. My son, the younger one, is just now willing to sit still and try to do stuff on the computer and I can't find our Reader Rabbit Toddler CD anywhere!! So, I'm buying it again. I guess I must really like it. Date: 2002-02-13 Cute but not all that......... I have 2 children, a 1 yr old and a 3 1/2 year old. The reviews on this product sounded super. However, I wasn't all that impressed. It wasn't 'glitzy' enough for my 1 year old to be interested. And it was boring and not at all challenging for my 3 year old. My 3 year old thought it was cute but cute was about all I would give it to. Now, Barney All around the Town CD-Rom Computer game is all that.....engaging and entertaining for BOTH my kids. I had the same expectations for this one but was let down. It is "cute" though. Date: 2002-02-03 This one Is the best for young toddlers I have purchased several titles for my 17 month old, and I always come away wishing I could write my own software just for him. He's very bright and already knows his alphabet, shapes, colors and numbers so when I purchased software I was specifically looking for something that would teach him to use the mouse. This is the best tool for that. We got him a track ball and he's able to operate this program more or less independently, although he occasionally gets stuck and says, "Sumpin' new!" We recently purchase Mickey Mouse Toddler and it's not nearly as good by comparison. He's got reasonably good mouse control, but we still have to give him the keyboard for Mickey.
