| This installment in
Broderbund's Living Books Series imparts an interactive twist to the
Aesop's Fable comparing two distinctly different paces of life. The race
between the slow-and-steady tortoise and the hurry-up hare has
entertained children for countless generations. The story is brought to
life with characters that talk and move and sing and dance. With sound
effects, original music, humor and lots of animation, it's a whole new
learning experience. |

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