Description:

P.J.'s Reading Adventures is a 3 CD-ROM set of interactive stories narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, Jonathan Winters and Danny Glover. Each title features fun games and clickables, as well.

Notes:

Installation was no problem and the stories all ran with no problem. The graphics are breath-taking in each of them! Where else could you spend an afternoon playing checkers with Paul Bunyan, helping a snake make kola medicine and finding out the importance of camouflage in the wild?

Features:

Each of these titles is beautifully done, it shows that a lot of thought and time went into the integration of the story, graphics,music and games to create the effects. The three titles are: Paul Bunyan, Koi and the Kola Nuts, and How the Leopard Got His Spots.
