Toddler games - Reader Rabbit Toddler

Reader Rabbit Toddler

Starting off with the basics: This game begins with Reader Rabbit’s friend jumping into a book during a visit with him. The action is centered around this small mouse as she explores the magical world that books can take you to.


The game can be driven either by clicking on the item you want or placing the mouse cursor over the item. Either way, you need some mouse skills.

Pros -
  • pleasing music
  • the singing with reader rabbit game (the stage) only has maybe 9 songs but it is great to watch reader rabbit act them out
  • animated surprises

Cons –
  • The main character is kind of quiet and doesn’t engage much
  • Great mouse skills needed

My opinion: The Games are challenging but not a whole lot of fun so once you see all the animations, you might get bored. A very good computer game for older toddlers but it might not last long.
