Storymaker+ VGA is a multimedia kit for creating interactive storybooks with sound, music, and text-to-speech. Storybooks of up to 99 screen pages can also be compiled into stand-alone, personalized programs for easy distribution among friends, family, or for educational and commercial purposes. The software is designed for the use of elementary school age children as a creativity and learning tool for arts, music, reading and writing. Parents who are interested in participating in the education of their younger children can also use it as a teaching tool.

Some user comments:

"WELL DONE! This is an excellent intro into Multimedia Authoring for kids.""Thank you for Storymaker+. I have reviewed 100's of shareware programs and this one is tops. .. I have five grandchildren, and plan to write personalized stories for them."

Try it yourself if you're looking for an inexpensive way to create multimedia. You can create stand-alone storybooks which you can distribute with no further royalties. The Billy Bear stories were created with Storymaker. There is also a Storymaker+ EGA, which will produce storybooks which can be viewed by EGA and VGA monitors.
