    Product Description
    [Ages 3 - 8] Living Books are touched by magic. Characters talk and move, sing and dance. Sound effects, music, humor and lots of animations, create a whole new learning experience. Children just point and click. So they can repeat a favorite part, go back or skip ahead, all at their own pace. Reading skills grow through word recognition. As the computer reads them aloud, individual words, phrases and lines are highlighted. Harry & the Haunted House -- A Book by Mark Schlichting. When Harry D. Rabbit hits one of Earl's famous curve balls right over Stinky's head, it lands in the spooky old house down the street. Harry and his friends cautiously explore the house, searching for their ball, and have a host of hair-raising experiences.

    5 out of 5 stars Fifteen dollar is a good price   August 9, 2007

    My girl just love this four Living books, she plays them a lot, over and over (she is five years old, and does have english as her second language, and they help her to build up her english skills, while she is having fun) . She can choose if she want to hear it like a story, or if she wants to play bye clicking on the pictures on each page. It says up to 7 years on the games, but I should say it fits more 3-5 years old, older would bee bored after playing it once or twice. We just used them on windows 98, and they workes greate.
    15 dollar is a greate price for them, under 5 dollars per game!
    Definatly worth the money!!



    1 out of 5 stars Living Books problem w/ XP   April 6, 2007

    After a number of back and forth email contacts with the supplier - it turns out that to use this item on XP, there is a complicated series of changes to the settings of the computer that need to be done. I couldn't do it. And a child for sure could not even attempt it. For all practical purposes, this item is not XP compatible. I wanted to return it - and they refused.


    5 out of 5 stars Lots of fun for kids and adults   January 14, 2007

    My kids are emerging from their teens now, but I still remember the fun we had with these Living Books and so am giving them as gifts to other younger parent friends with grammar school age kids. The illustrations on each page are identical to those in the actual books, but you move your cursor over just about anything in the picture, click the mouse button and get a wacky, animated response with comical music, sound effect, or dialog. It's a riot! The kids love it and so do the adults. You can choose the option to have the computer read the story aloud for younger kids in English or Spanish.
