 Best Toddler Software on the MarketSep 25, 2001
By Sharon Russell
"mom_of_shakespeare"
As a parent and a former early childhood teacher, I have used a variety of software titles. Without a doubt, Reader Rabbit's Toddler is the best software program for any child who is beginning to learn how to use a computer. Children learn quickly how to use the keyboard and mouse due to the instant positive feedback they receive. In addition to providing for quick success, the program teaches children many important developmentally appropriate objectives, such as colors, matching shapes, counting, one-to-one correspondence, nursery rhymes, animal sounds, and finger plays. I would strongly recommend this as the first computer program for any child between one and five years old.

Great first software programDec 09, 2001
By Lynn Sheeran
I worked in a children's library and I saw so many children learn how to use a mouse from using this program. Two year olds grasped the concept of "when I move the mouse, I can make this happen" so quickly with the fun, fun, fun interactive games for toddlers. I now have a 2 year old of my own who has been able to play some of the games here for close to a year now. I have to agree with the amazon.com reviewer on everything but the fact that I think Rainbow Rock is the best part of the program. It is the best way for kids to learn, not their colors, but how to work the mouse as they move the "crayon" over the picture, coloring it in. When the picture is finished, a (mostly) catchy tune is played. My daughter loves this and so did every 2, 3, 4, and even 5 year old in the library who would use it. I highly recommned purchasing this software program for anyone with toddlers.

It would not run in MS Windows2000.
It would not run in Microsoft XP.
It would not run in Mac OS9.
There is a bare minimum of online support.
It RUNS in MS Windows 98 and fairly well at that on my old laptop. Just thought you'all might want to know.
ps-my son likes it when it runs.

WONDEFULOct 10, 2001
By Toni
I bought Playtime for baby & toddler at a local store, while waiting for another reader rabbit cd to come in the mail and my daughter is actually 4 but absolutely loves this cd. Even though it is a toddler cd don't let that fool you my 9 year old plays it, don't tell him I said so though, LOL. I have 3 kids and we know have bought the reader rabbit thinking adventures, preschool and cluefinders 4th grade. My daughter loved the part where baby animals are in a basket hiding and they make a sound and you have to reunite them with their momma. She also loves peek a boo bubbles where she pops bubbles to free animals and then it counts them back to her after she has freed them all. It is very simple to use and they dont even have to click a mouse button, they can even just hit keyboard buttons, it is very simple and all my kids were delighted with these products and my husband is a computer tech and we have reviewed many children cds and Highly recommend reader rabbit software.

Best Baby Game We've FoundJun 17, 2002
By patrick f daly
Of all the games we've bought, this one is by far the best. Rather than adapting known characters to a story or to a game, this one was obviously written specifically for this age group. Our 18-month-old and 3-year-old are crazy about it, and have been playing it for a few months now. It is written so intuitively that once, while I was in the shower, our three-year-old started it up and was playing games on her own. She was SO pleased with herself, and I was thrilled. She now has mouse control and can play this one whenever she feels like it. She is more interested in more difficult games now, too. This wasn't a goal, really, I just wanted a game that would be fun, and this one has more than filled the bill. The author really understands the kinds of games and songs that kids this age enjoy - bubbles, baby animals, facial expressions, short stories, coloring, songs that they recognize. It's just the right speed and tone. I can't say enough about this game.
