Reader Rabbit's Toddler

The Good
The nice thing about this game is that it keeps track of your child's progress, and slowly increases the challenges as levels are completed. For example - in the Shape Shack, on level one, a child might have to differentiate between a cow and a dinosaur. But, on level three it might be musical instruments versus foods.

There are no less than nine different activities - some more fun than educational - which makes for a lot of variety and keeps your child interested.

The Bad
The only downside to the idea of keeping track of a child's progress is that in some activities, especially the shape shack, a child can progress simply by persisting and sorting things correctly by chance, without actually having learned the principal. However, parents can go in and readjust the level.

The Bottom Line
A fun game that puts a lot of emphasis on educational ideas, including letters, sorting, matching and simple couting. Great for preschoolers through kindergartners.
