Reader Rabbit 1st Grade does a great job of keeping young kids interested and entertained -- thanks to the straight-out-of-a-cartoon animation, musical numbers, and genuinely fun gameplay -- while teaching them solid elementary-school curriculum at the same time.

Kindergartners (and even precocious preschoolers) can certainly give the game a go on the lower difficulty levels, which is nice, but if they have trouble with aiming the Wii remote precisely, you or an older sibling may need to help them out. Still, the combination of educational and entertainment value here is impressive.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
