Reader Rabbit is trapped in the Dragon's Castle and he wants Sam the Lion to save him!  But Sam needs a lot of help!  Can he count on you to help him solve the mysteries of this bizarre castle and save Reader Rabbit from the fire-breathing dragon?

Sir Drayson Dragon is very clever!  He has filled his castle with many challenges that you must complete before you will be able to rescue Reader Rabbit!  You will have to work hard to earn enough points and collect the twelve widgets you must have to enter the chamber at the top of his castle!

When you begin your adventure, you will start with the rank of "Smoke Screen" but as you advance and earn more points, you will be promoted to higher ranks.  The ultimate goal is to achieve the highest rank of "Dragon Fire" and I know you will want to claim that rank for yourself!

Each time you complete an activity in Reader Rabbit 2nd Grade, you will earn points for each correct answer you gave!  There is a special bonus you can earn when you finish an activity with a perfect score!  You must complete special activities to earn the widgets you must collect to continue your progress through the castle.
