Reviews:

Computer Shopper, June 1995

"Our young testers enjoyed seeing their favorite stories and learning about new ones, and found the program easy to use and very entertaining.

"Alien Tales is the best reading comprehension software on the market (in fact, it has very little competition in that genre). Its first-rate graphics, animations and sound, and use of famous children's books make it the choice for young readers."
