When Harry D. Rabbit hits one of Earl's famous curve balls right over Stinky's head, it lands in the spooky old house down the street. He and his friends tiptoe through the house in search of their baseball-stumbling across dozens of startling sights and sounds, and having a host of hair-raising experiences.

A quiet and pleasant game that goes beyond a typical interactive storybook, DW The Picky Eater is a good choice for young fans of the Arthur show/books. It helps develop a number of pre-reading skills and teaches basic nutrition. (from this review).

The Tortoise and the Hare

T-1000 — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:45:33 +0000

Quote from Wikipedia (about the original fable):

The story concerns a hare who ridicules a slow-moving tortoise and is challenged by him to a race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, decides to take a nap midway through the course. When he awakes, however, he finds that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, has arrived before him.

I think this will work all the way down to System 6 although sound drop-outs may occur according to the user's guide.
