MY STORYMAKER

Okay, I admit it; I got caught for far too long playing with "My StoryMaker". There are so many different features to choose from, characters to animate, and settings to play with, along with actions, emotions, and interactions. The images make it all easy for young children, but I bet that older ones will enjoy it as well!
