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.

If you can obtain the Living Book disc without any other special offers (AOL) then I would highly recommend it.

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 ... Read More

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.
