Product Description
Aesop's Classic Fable Becomes a Living Book. The race between the slow-and-steady tortoise and the hurry-up hare has entertained children for countless generations. Ages: 3 to 8. From start to finish, this Living Book version includes dozens of hilarious new twists. Along the way, you'll meet a score of delightfully animated characters - including Simon, the story-telling bird. So the familiar tale is fresh, enchanting and full of surprises. 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. In English and Spanish. Change from English to Spanish and back again with just a click.

2 out of 5 stars Too old for new computers!   January 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

If you are thinking of buying this product be sure to check to see if your computer is compatible. We have a Mac OS X and the Tortoise and the Hare is too old a program for it. As far as we can tell it runs only on version 7. Don't be mislead by the fact that is says for Mac versions 7 or higher on the case, it is not true and I suspect it will be a similar situation for computers running Windows.


5 out of 5 stars The Tortois and the Hare   October 24, 2007
When my daughter was 2 years old, she loved the listening option where the book is read to her on the computer, and she didn't have to do anything to "turn" the pages. Now that she's 3 years old, she loves the interactive option where she can click on the pages and see the animations move and make sounds.


4 out of 5 stars Autistic Kid Loves It   September 28, 2004
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

My 7-year old autistic daughter loves this game.

We stumbled onto it originally in a "preview", included in some Arthur CD-ROM's, and I went and bought a used copy of the real thing.

She will play for hours, clicking on things and making them interact all over the place. She laughs hysterically sometimes, making the hare stumble through mud etc.
