Join Smart-Bears Jeanie, Willy, and Wishbone Whistler in an easy-to-use CD-ROM adventure. Jeanie and cubs find out there's more to searching for the perfect den than meets the eye. Read-a-long text synchronized to actors' voices encourages children to read. Interactive pages - click on binoculars and story comes to life with animation and sound. A magnifying feature allows the children to examine details of nature and the unseen world. Children can also connect to the Internet for a weather and bear activity on the mountain. Also available in French.
