The Critics are Raving about Orly!

Orly’s Draw-A-Story is more than just a creative computer game from Brøderbund Software. It's an entirely new experience for kids and parents. That's because it stars a charming 8-year-old Jamaican girl named Orly. She makes it fun and easy for kids to take on the role of artist, animator, and writer! As Orly guides kids through several animated story adventures, she shares friendly advice so that they can draw their own characters, watch them come to life through animation, and then show them off, playing the stories over and over. Kids can also create their very own stories, complete with sound effects. Set against the backdrop of warm, friendly Jamaica, Orly's Draw-A-Story is woven with bright colors, playful Caribbean music, and unique surprises. No wonder the critics are calling it "brilliant!"

• ". . . Orly is brilliant. . . giving kids creative input into the story-telling process."

Newsweek

• "Five out of five stars for Orly! The kids can't get enough of this truly innovative program that provides multiple opportunities for creative expression."

Children's Software Review

• "If your kids are bored by mass-produced interactive storybooks, introduce them to Orly's Draw-A-Story from Brøderbund Software."
