Learning can be fun
My toddler loved this software. She was intially amused by the colors and the music. The more she played the more she learned. She knows all of her body parts, including the elbow, because of this software. The combination of colorful backdrops and catchy music keeps a toddlers attention. It helped that the software did not require many clicks of the mouse, simply moving it and holding it over an object changed the games.

The perfect introduction to the computer!
Our 2-year old daughter was fascinated by the computer, but all the age-appropriate software we had was either much to simplistic (actions required only banging on the keyboard to produce a result), or required a considerable amount of help from an adult due to the need to point and click. She was very interested in the mouse, but could never quite get the concept of pointing and clicking, which was always very frustrating for her.My favorite thing about Reader Rabbit Toddler is the method i...

No regrets on this purchase!
I bought this software based on others' reviews here. What a great buy! Our son turned 2 last month. We have an old iMac we gave him, and we thought we'd buy him Reader Rabbit to introduce him to computer use since he's taken an unhealthy interest in ours. The software installed easily, and by default makes itself start up when the computer turns on to save children from having to navigate program menus. The first time we sat our son in front of it he laughed and squealed and couldn't get enough...

My son loves this software!
This was my son's first software program and he loves it! We have now had it for over a year and he still likes to play it. This software helped him learn numbers, letters, shapes, animal sounds and matching skills. Completing an activity quickly rewards the child with a fun song or visual graphics, so it keeps him very entertained and motivated to keep playing. We've tried several other software programs and this one was definitely the most popular one we've tried, and also the one from whi...

Best toddler software I've found
We've tried Pooh Toddler, Little Bear, JumpStart and a handful of other toddler geared software and Reader Rabbit has been the favorite of both myself and my son. It's easy to skip the intros (which are short anyway) and get straight to the game; it works for a wide range of toddler skills; and it has activities appropriate to a toddler's attention span, namely short and colorful without being overly abrasive. Some of the games have more of a point than others ("can you find three matching ani...

My 22-month-old plays it by herself and loves it.
We have a different version, I think, but the point is the same: it's great. This game taught my daughter how to use the mouse (without clicking) at 21 months of age. At first she cried to play it all the time and that was difficult, but as soon as I realized she could do it by herself it has been fantastic. The fact that it doesn't require mouse clicks is crucial. We limit the amount of time she plays it each day so she doesn't become a computer junkie, but at least it is educational. (...

GREAT program
My almost 2 year old daughter LOVES this game. It came reccommended to me and I am SO glad I purchased it. Actually I am searching for another program that is as good, but I am having no luck. My daughter is using the mouse all by herself to play the games. I actually can leave her alone to play for 30 or so minutes and she goes from game to game all by herself. (Granted we played several times together and she is a fast learner.) I love that the majority of these games are educational and...

Reader Rabbit Toddler
After a bit of research, we bought this as the first computer software for our 1 year old daughter, and she just loves it. It keeps her occupied and laughing for long periods. First she was fascinated by the keyboard banging and the reactions she could cause. By 16 months she had mastered the concepts of mouse clicking and dragging objects and moving around. By 20 months she was an expert in all the games, starts and stops the program herself, and navigates to where she wants to play. This progr...

Good but...
I bought reader rabbit toddler for my 2 year old. (She turned two in sept). It was the first game she was permitted to play, her first real exposure to using the computer. On the plus side, it did a great job teaching her to use the mouse. All of the activities can be accessed without needing to coordinate clicking. That's good because it's pretty tough for little hands to do that sometimes. The little games are okay. There are 3 that are mainly practicing mouse movements, 1 just fun o...

Great Pre-Mouse Age Users As Well
The virtues of this software have been clearly stated below. But I'd like to add one important point. It is the only Toddler education software that allows the child to play games before they are able to handle a mouse. All of the RR games can be played (at lower sophistication levels) by merely hitting any key on the keyboard. This is important for the under-2 crowd. We used RR as periodic "edutaiment" for our 7-month-old in bursts of 10-15 minutes. She loved the cause-effect interplay betwe...
