Mindscape is one of the UK's leading publishers of innovative education and reference software. Our range supports children throughout their primary years education starting at age five with the Reader Rabbit range right through to The ClueFinders for ages 7-12. As the child's education progresses our CD-Roms grow with them.

Reader Rabbit CD-Roms (age 3-8) are designed specifically for a child's development using appropriate subjects such as spelling, maths, vocabulary and science combined with engaging characters and stories. There are four titles in the Reader Rabbit range - Reader Rabbit Junior, Reader Rabbit Nursery, Reader Rabbit Year 1 and Reader Rabbit Year 2.

The Zoombinis CD-Roms (age 7+) have been designed in close collaboration with teachers and educationalists to create mind-bending puzzles that translate mathematical and logical concepts into intriguing stories.
