Children's favourites make their debut on the PC

Since their first appearance in 1959, Topsy & Tim have remained firm
favourites with millions of children. Over 130 Topsy & Tim books have been
published with sales in excess of 21 million! 

Now, Topsy and Tim have moved from the written page to the PC screen with
multimedia versions of three of the favourite titles - Topsy & Tim at the
Supermarket, Topsy & Tim go to School and Topsy & Tim at Granny and
Grandpa's. 

Developed by Europress for Penguin Books, these programs share the appeal
of the Topsy & Tim books by presenting real life situations, based on the
everyday lives and dramas of real children. 

Each package includes a narration of the full story, with text highlighted
as it is spoken to help with word recognition. Children can go immediately
to their favourite page and can also highlight individual words on every
page to see it and listen to it. 

The many colourful screens contain hidden animations which children can
discover by searching with their mouse. Each package also includes a fun
painting program, five digital jigsaws and two games involving the story
characters. 

Topsy and Tim have been brought to the PC using Klik & Create, Europress'
new multimedia creativity package. Europress Topsy and Tim CD-Roms will be
launched later in April and will cost 19.99.
