Mis--cheese--ious Dreamship Adventures! is a story-based adventure game that finds the familiar characters of Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion being ambushed by "pirats". They lose control of the Dreamship, which lands at the top of Mt Cheesemore. It's a race against time to get back to the ship before the pirats get to it.A Professor rescues Reader Rabbit and Sam, but the hovercraft they are travelling ashore in is wrecked by the pirats. Reader Rabbit and Sam agree to help the Professor to fix it before they go to find the Dreamship. The vital things needed to fix the hovercraft are bread, blue-cheese bricks and macaroni fruit! Children can help Reader Rabbit and Sam collect these things by undertaking seven different fun activities.
The activities help to develop children's language, maths and science skills. A lot of them help to support work that they are doing at school as part of the National Curriculum. There are activities to develop spelling and their understanding of phonics. Children can help to build a dam by moving cheese blocks to complete addition and subtraction sums. They can travel through the Cheese Mine and consolidate their understanding of odd and even numbers. They will love trying to get through the doors in the Pirat Maze by decoding the messages on the doors and carrying out the tasks. The Insect Builder allows children to read descriptions and use this information to select the correct part and build up a picture of an insect, although, some of the vocabulary is a little complex and some children might need a little help selecting the correct part.
This is another good adventure story in the Reader Rabbit series which would be a very good buy for parents of children aged between six and seven. --Amanda York

Bounce Down in Balloon Town is another very good interactive story in the popular Reader Rabbit series. Reader Rabbit and Sam the Lion spot two moving islands, which they decide to investigate, only to end up stranded on the islands with their Dreamship bubble-wrapped in the Pointy Palace.The adventure starts by finding their way into the Pointy Palace blocked by a sleeping bull. Reader Rabbit and Sam's challenge is to travel around the islands and collect the instruments, so that the band can play and wake up the bull. They also have to work out which palace guard plays which instrument, so that they can finally get back to the Dreamship.
There are nine fun activities that children can undertake in order to help Reader Rabbit and Sam collect the instruments. These activities can be played on three different levels of difficulty. Children will enjoy, for example, filling in the missing words to complete the turtle's raps, collecting oysters by matching letters, numbers and shapes, climbing the phonics slide and having a go at Bounceketball, "dunk'n" the ball when it rhymes with the screen. Successfully making Piggy Plane's wings balance, using addition skills, will allow children to travel between the two islands.
The activities consolidate literacy and numeracy skills that are part of the National Curriculum. Children will really enjoy this adventure to Balloon Town and Bounce Down in Balloon Town would be a good buy for parents with children aged between four and six.--Amanda York
