The Wild Cookie
Author: Dave Johnson

What do you get when you combine an imaginative little boy, a pernicious chocolate chip cookie, and a houseful of interactive objects? An entertaining CD-ROM adventure that helps kids read while keeping them entertained with a fun, original story. — The Wild Cookie is best-selling author Dave Johnson's first children's book. It is the tale a youn... more »g boy spins to explain why his fingers are covered in chocolate.

Designed for ages 3 to 8, The Wild Cookie uses proven instructional methods with fun, colorful graphics, sound, and music to keep kids entertained while they learn to read and reinforce their existing learning skills. Since the story is about an independent-minded confection, every page hides a special cookie with its own unique personality. When discovered, the cookie amuses readers and then hides again, apparently prizing his privacy.

The CD-ROM has other unique elements. Among the product's many interactive elements is a stereo that plays over a dozen complete songs, ranging from classical to folk. We're proud to include a number of noted artists in the playlist; Wisconsin artist Ritt Deitz contributes two entertaining tunes, and many kid's parents may recognize Kristin Hersh, former leader of the Throwing Muses and creator of the smash 1995 solo album Hips and Makers. Kristin has donated two songs from her collection of childhood folksongs for The Wild Cookie. Nationally renowned violist David Becker contributes recent classical recordings as well.

Here's what you'll find in The Wild Cookie:

Read-to-me and interactive modes

Narrated by author

Kids hear words read aloud individually, or as part of the narrative

Entertaining repetitive narrative style reinforces key learning words

Over 400 interactive hotspots for lots of fun exploration

Pronunciation, context, image and printed word are all combined for cohesive learning

Professionally recorded music including brilliantly funny Wild Cookie Rap
