A Mars Moose Adventure: Cosmic Quest 2 - Fairy Tale Island

A Mars Moose Adventure: Cosmic Quest 2 - Fairy Tale Island is among the more than 100 Lightspan Adventure educational games that were distributed to American elementary schools in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Mars Moose must follow and rescue his dog, Cosmo, who has traveled through a magic portal to Fairy Tale Island. To do so, he must recover 26 different pieces of a map that have been scattered all over the island. However, Fairy Tale Island's colorful residents -- including Rapunzel, Peter Pan, and some miners -- have found the map pieces first, and Mars must earn them by playing a few rhyming games and answering questions correctly.

Part of Lightspan's reading and language arts curriculum, the game is geared toward children ages 5-7 and aims to teach rhyming words, rhyming patterns, and phonogram families.
