Reception

CNET said "Other makers of educational software should take a lesson from Zurk's Rainforest Lab's book, using facts about an interesting topic to stimulate creative writing and critical thinking. On the other hand, the richness of the computer as a learning medium can certainly be put to better use than it is in this program"[6]

The game was given an Excellence Award by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.[7][8]
