Fairy Tales Come Alive

  • 12/01/96

Packard Bell Interactive is bringing two classic story books to the PC. Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears are both designed for young learners between three and nine years old.

The CD titles include several features guaranteed to capture and hold youngsters' attention. In Sing-Along, for instance, students sing karaoke-style songs, and listen to songs from the stories. Dot-to-Dot games are played on screen, or printed out and played on paper. And Color-in-Motion lets students explore their imagination using a color palette.

Both the Goldilocks and Three Bears titles are part of the firm's A+ Learning Series. Packard Bell Interactive, Seattle, WA, (206) 654-4100, www.packardbell.com. WM
