The best thing about Orly's Draw a Story is that when you draw a character, it does things. For example, when we put a toothbrush in a troll's mouth, the troll said, "Mmmm . . . that tastes good." When we poked the troll with a paintbrush, it said, "See if I care." Then when we poked it again, the troll said, "OK, so I do care." The stories are animated to act out what Orly is saying. Even when you write your own stories, they can be animated. We wrote one about bugs on a ship and a sea monster, and only one bug survived. Orly's Draw-A-Story". The Atlanta Constitution.

Each story has a unique storyline and the player is asked to design different objects and scenes for each one.MLA style: "Orly's draw-a-story.."

It was so easy to make sense of it all. Dinah was only 7 at the time and loved it too. Of course she was the target audience.

I actually worked/consulted on a joint project that went nowhere, around 1997, with one or more of the people responsible for this great production. Wow, I would love to get a chance to work with them now. Did any of you ever see this cd rom? The animation goes over your drawing, the paint features stay within the drawn line exactly.
