MY FIRST INCREDIBLE, AMAZING DICTIONARY

Sound and Animation Enhance CD-ROM Version of this Language Resource for
Kids

Dorling Kindersley's best-selling book My First Dictionary has quickly
established itself as a colorful and fun introduction to 1,000 words and
their meaning for young children. Dorling Kindersley's CD-ROM version, MY
FIRST INCREDIBLE, AMAZING DICTIONARY (DK Multimedia; Pub Date: Oct. 20,
1994), creates an even more visually stunning learning resource for
children ages 3 to 7. Here language is enhanced through spoken words
displayed in brilliant color, with clear text, pictures, sounds and
animation.

Each word and definition in this entertaining interactive program is
self-pronouncing. Easy to use even for children who cannot yet read or
have never used a computer, MY FIRST INCREDIBLE, AMAZING DICTIONARY
includes:

* 1,000 definitions
* 17,000 words
* More than 1,000 illustrations
* Over 1,250 screens and pop-up windows
* An incredible 1,000 + animations
* More than four hours of audio
* Enhances comprehension with synonyms, word groups, and other
  vocabulary elements to make learning fun.

Children can roam easily from word to word at their own pace. For instance,
when calling up the word airport, the dictionary defines the word, and
displays airplanes idling at an airport terminal. When the mouse is
positioned on a plane's wing, a new window opens with a bird offering
another definition of wing.

Every detail of the dictionary is geared toward stimulating the imagination
of children, from the extra-large close boxes on the hundreds of pop-up
windows to the built-in games and special features. Simple but powerful
navigation controls allow free access throughout the word base.

"The CD-ROM format is an ideal way to introduce a dictionary to a child,"
says John Sargent CEO of Dorling Kindersley Publishing, Inc. "The pictures
and sound instantly engage the mind of a child, and help to unlock the
mysteries of language." Through sight and sound MY FIRST INCREDIBLE,
AMAZING DICTIONARY encourages careful use of language and spelling, and
provides the foundation of a life-long connection to the magic and power
of words.
