Reader Rabbit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reader Rabbit is an edutainment software franchise created in 1989 by The Learning Company. This series currently makes up the greater part of a franchise of grade-based and subject-based titles, where the games for infancy through second grade feature Reader Rabbit. The games for third grade through sixth grade instead feature The ClueFinders.
As one might presume, the first game in the series taught language arts, featuring a variety of simple games designed to teach schoolchildren basic reading and spelling skills. Originally, the title character's name was changed to reflect a change in subject, as with Math Rabbit, but it has apparently since been decided to retain the character's original name regardless of the subject area covered by a particular game. "Reader Rabbit" is presumably a play on "Peter Rabbit."

[edit] Sam the Lion
Sam the Lion is, obviously, a lion. Though he exists in all Reader Rabbit systems, he is the main character in Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade. In the other games, the story revolves around Reader Rabbit doing various educational activities in which the player would interact to help Reader Rabbit. In Reader Rabbit's Interactive Reading Journey, Sam wished to rule a kingdom since "a lion should be king."
