  • A trainee spy in a squeaky wheelchair learning to fly a helicopter
  • The captain of a Mars bound space rocket shooting a laser gun at asteroids.

The jokes and tongue twisters have:

  • lots of fun sounds and laughter to laugh along with.
  • simple and bold graphics and animations that grab and hold childrens attention.
       
Interaction

There are lots of opportunities for interaction between the child and the person working with them. The child will have lots of fun sharing the adventures with friends and family who can also use a mouse to keep the action going.

Touchscreens

This CD-ROM can be used with a touchscreen but the verbal cues refer to a mouse and do not tell the child to 'touch'. Please contact us if you are interested in software specifically designed for use with a touchscreen. We may consider converting our 'Mouse Skills' series if there is enough interest.
