| Children spend the day
with Little Monster as he goes off to school to learn about ABC's,
numbers, science and other subjects. During the day, he also takes care
of his pet Zipperump-a-zoo, tends his plant, makes a paper airplane,
sings and joins his classmats for recess and lunch. It allows children
to repeat their favorite parts, go back or skip ahead, all at their own
pace, and children's reading skills will grow through word recognition.
Read along with your family and experience a new way to enjoy reading. |

nonabrasive, liquid soap on the shiny side of the disc. Using your
fingertips and warm water, gently rub the soap on the disc in a
circular motion. Rinse the disc thoroughly and dry it using a

manufacturer for installation of the proper CD-ROM or hard drive
drivers.)

driver for the CD-ROM drive is being used. Contact the computer
manufacturer for additional information.
- Try to use a different disc in the CD-ROM drive
to see if it can be read.
- If possible, insert the CD that is not being
recognized into the CD-ROM drive of another computer to see if the
issue remains.
