The Book of Shadowboxes: A Story of the ABCs
Description
The Book of Shadowboxes: A Story of the ABCs is an educational game which teaches the alphabet to kids. It is based on the book of the same name.
The game includes a narrated poem for every letter. Afterwards, the player has to click on the pictures which correspond to the words used in the poem (e.g. "apple"). However, solving the puzzle is not required because every poem can be selected individually and there is an auto-play function. The treasure hunt mode has the same pictures, but now the player needs to click on the things which were not featured in the poem. The game also features a paint program.
