In Just Me and My Dad readers join Little Critter and his dad on an exciting camping expedition into the woods, where they go fishing, tell ghost stories and spend a night under the stars. Each page of the interactive storybook features nearly two dozen "hot spots" that, when clicked, entertain children with lively sounds and animation. Readers can visit their favorite pages at any time using the page function. At the end of the storybook, the CD-ROM features a 22-minute full-motion animated video of the story. Just Me and My Dad is the second Little Critter book to be brought to CD-ROM. Just Grandma and Me, released in 1993, has sold over 500,000 copies.
