Features:

• Teaches 2nd-grade skills in fractions, language, and science

• Explore Mt. Cheesemore with Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion
• Rescue the Dreamship from a gooey mountain of cheese
• Defeat the bungling pirates

Reader Rabbit and his friend Sam the Lion are innocently piloting their Dreamship through the sky when--from out of nowhere--a Pie Rat ship attack knocks them for a loop. The ship crashes into a sticky mass of cheese on a high mountaintop, while Sam and Reader Rabbit fall into the sea below. In Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade: Mis-cheese-ious Dreamship Adventures, players must get the intrepid adventurers back to the ship before the Pie Rats take it over.
Aimed at children in the second grade, this Reader Rabbit program offers a challenging series of educational games. Players must climb Mount Cheesemore, for example, by completing a series of math formulas. The challenge is to place the cheese blocks correctly, in such a way that all the formulas are balanced. Getting one or two of the numbers to tally may be easy, but completing the third can be quite the test. In another game, crossing a fast-flowing river depends on the user's ability to make compound words, or to identify synonyms and antonyms.
The games are perfect for children studying or previewing a second-grade curriculum. They are set at a perfect range of difficulty, simple at first, but with an automatic increase in toughness as players master the spelling, science, and math skills presented in the activities. At higher levels, parental assistance may be required to complete the puzzles. What's more, players must complete some tasks in order to get to others--there is no way to skip out on the language or science drills if you want to rescue the Dreamship.
