BERT'S DINOSAURS is an enjoyable coloring program for children of all   
ages, but is especially useful for introducing young children to the    
computer. BERT'S DINOSAURS was designed by educators to be used by young
children with a minimum of assistance by adults. As a coloring program  
BERT'S DINOSAURS is superior to many other children's coloring programs 
in that it allows the user to place the various dinosaurs, all in four  
different sizes, on a variety of backgrounds. This encourages children  
to create their own picture before coloring and gives them something to 
take pride in.                                                          
                                                                        
When first started, BERT'S DINOSAURS displays a title screen and then   
the drawing surface with eight buttons on the left. Children can operate
the program with the mouse alone. A window is provided which allows     
children to write a short story about their picture using the keyboard. 
The fact that they created the picture will help provide the motivation 
to write about it. One of the best ways for children to learn to read is
to write, even if their initial attempts include phonetic spelling. They
will love creating a setting, writing their own story, and printing out 
a copy.
