Annc: Rainbow Web a Rev CD-ROM

[Jeffrey Reynolds]

Just thought I would put out another product that was 
Metacard/Revolution created! Using revolution allowed the costs of the 
CD-ROM to be kept way down so that the book could be sold with the 
CD-ROM included for less than $20! A whole series is planned and the 
next two are in production! The CD-ROM has simple activities, games and 
content that were quick and simple to do with rev. The CD-ROM will also 
go on sale next month by itself. This is a really fun series to work on 
since we get to do fun story book stuff, games and great background 
content materials all together! Nice to really do 'edutainment' (how i 
hate that term!) right! The book artwork came out wonderfully also, 
mainly b/w graphite with some hints of color that really makes the 
illustrations have feeling and also turns on the imagination so much 
more than the full color stuff.

Description:

The Rainbow Web is the first book in the 'Web to Whales' series of 
picture books with educational CD-ROMs.  The set offers a complete 
thematic unit for teachers, homeschoolers, and parents. The fully 
illustrated picture book tells the delightful story of a spider that 
spins a rainbow web. The story engages a child's curiosity about 
spiders. Could a spider spin a colored web? Do spiders eat berries?

Illustrations start out in black and white, introducing each rainbow 
color as the story progresses.  Lessons and activities on primary and 
secondary colors are included on the CD-ROM. The companion CD-ROM 
teaches the science behind the story. Students learn about real-life 
spiders through narrated lessons and interactive games and activities. 
The interactive CD-ROM also includes reproducible activity pages that 
are intended as a follow-up to the lessons. Cross-curricular activities 
in reading, math, science, and art are offered, as well as 
comprehension questions to accompany the book.
