Amazon.com Review:
JumpStart 2nd Grade from Knowledge Adventure is an expertlydesigned collage of games certain to engage any young child. The characters arethoughtfully drawn and animated, and the games are intriguing--they'reeducational, too, but don't tell your kids!
In the Logs game, children help a gopher cross the river and make his way towardthe correct answer to a math problem--much like the old game Frogger butwith an educational twist. Players also encounter a Save the Universe game(science), a vault that must be unlocked (spelling and vowels), and even a basicmusic-notation game--well over 20 interactive games in all, plus printableactivities. Why should the fun--and learning--stop when the computer shutsdown?
The first of two CD-ROMs is part audio CD, containing 10 sing-and-learn songsthat can be used in any CD player. As parents, we love this feature; it's greatto be able to take the music on the road to reinforce the ideas and factschildren are learning when they play the game.
JumpStart 2nd Grade also features built-in Internet hooks for exchangingmail with other JumpStart users and downloading more adventures. And asan added bonus, the program comes with a 30-minute animated VHS story, 'Why Didthe Bus Stop?' While its animation is not the most elaborate, the tape featurescharacters from the game and helps children learn about counting, telling time,and the five senses.
The JumpStart series is popular, and for good reason: the folks atKnowledge Adventure invest a great deal of time and money into their products,and it shows in this worthy member of the series. (Ages 6 to 8) --MikeCaputo

Rating: - Jump Start 2nd Grade Continues Great Tradition...
We've been buying JumpStart games for the computer since before my eldest daughter started kindergarten. Now that she's headed for 2nd grade, we upgraded and she's been learning braille and doing more math and reading. It's great to see her engaged on the computer with a game she's learning things from!
Rating:  - great games!
We homeschool and we use this as an extra for my daughter. she spends at least an hour at a time on it. And it has great games that teach her. definately recommend.

I feel kind of weird writing this review because I don't even know why I looked it up in the first place, but I thought it might be interesting for potential buyers to get a perspective from someone who's played the game as a child.
I played through this game with my younger brother when we were in elementary school. We both LOVED IT to pieces. The characters are entertaining, the games are engaging and informative, and of course, fun. I loved the loose story and the quest for stamps ... Read More
Rating: - Fun game even after I Finished
I'm not xactly a kid anymore, but this is easier.
Anyway, I LOVED this game when I got it from school, it helped me a little and even after I FINISHED 2nd grade, I played it through 5th grade just because it was fun. My little sister also had a fun time with this game when she was in 2nd grade, I highly recommend ths for kids :)
Rating: - Excited about Learning
I love ALL Jump Start Learning Activities. I bought the Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade. My son loves these programs also, he can't wait to get started on 3rd Grade. I'm so happy to see my son playing with this educational game and I'm sure any parent would want to see their children excited about learning.
