Max On the Moon
© 1999 Viva Media (formerly Tivola)
Another electronic storybook starring the little dog Max, this program can be played in English, Spanish, German or French. In this adventure, Max must journey through the Milky Way in search of "moon chickens." Kids help out by building a rocket ship, playing games and searching for those moon chickens. Story text is highlighted as it is read aloud and clickables are numerous. The watercolor illustrations are lovely. Screen transitions are awkward, however, and you can't click through animation sequences.
