Fe- Fi- Fo- Fun! Jack and the Beanstalk makes for a "giant" time! This interactive coloring storybook is for kids and adults to enjoy together. Illustrated with unique coloring pictures, a child can color their own fantasy world with a bright array of hues. Since it is narrated with written and spoken text, children of a much younger age can enjoy this story while correlating visual and spoken words. A new southwestern version of this old tale will draw the oldest "kids" into the clouds on trek through a fantastically huge world!
A retelling of the traditional Jack and the Beanstalk story. The setting in this version of the story is generic Southwestern. Jack is portrayed as possibly Hispanic. The story is shortened to only a single foray into the giant's domain.
This storybook is top quality - The illustrations are very pleasing, the text is written below, and the narration is clear and pleasant. The pictures are initially black & white, and you can use a built-in 256 color paint program to color them whichever way you'd like. You can choose the option of saving your colored pictures or having the program revert back to the b&w.
Download information:
After downloading one of the story .EXE files, move it into a new directory on a drive with about 15Mb available (the story will only use about half that much after installation). The downloaded file has all of the story components in a compressed form to speed up downloading. When you Run the downloaded .EXE (from Program Manager or the Start bar), it will restore all of the story files automatically.
Note that there will be TWO .EXE files in the new directory after you run the downloaded file. One is the download file (nnnDOWN.EXE), while the other is the story file (nnnSTORY.EXE). The nnnDOWN.EXE can be deleted to free up disk space.
The story .EXE can now be run from Program Manager or the Start bar.
To install the story on your desktop, you need to make a new program item (and a new group, if you choose). Icons for the desktop are included.
