Taking books beyond the printed page, into the computer age.
It's a powerful concept in software, combining both education
and entertainment in a single, exciting product, providing a link
between computer software and children's literature and turning the
printed page into interactive entertainment. Through this unique
technology, children can read an entire book-on-disk at their
own pace, watch the illustrations being drawn on the screen,
and interact with each page.
Children can choose exciting activities that will improve
their reading and spelling skills. Each activity provides fun and
learning day after day.
