We've created an educational resource that is as amusing, entertaining,
and as graphically pleasing as any video game. This is where the true
potential of multimedia lies -- as an ideal platform to educate and
inform, while stimulating a child's senses." The title contains over
80,000 words of text, 550 full-color images, two hours of audio and more
than 100 sequences of full-motion video and colorful animations.
