ComputerLife, October 1994

"It all happened one night at a party at a friend's house, when a bunch of us wanted to check out his killer new multimedia system. We headed to his computer room, where we discovered his daughter busily clicking her way through The Tortoise and the Hare, a recent installment in the Living Books series. Initially, I was impressed with the colorful graphics of what is best described as an electronic pop-up book, but I was impatient to coax her away from the PC so we could check out some real CDs.
