The Mother Goose Game has been developed with the goal of
stimulating children's skills in reading, memory, and in the use of
the computer keyboard.  The child reads a rhyme, supplies the word
that is missing, and then enters that word via the keyboard.  I have
tried to place these activities in a colorful and interesting
environment while leaving the emphasis on the activity rather than
on the environment.  The program requires that you have a CGA or
better video adaptor.

	To start the game simply enter "goose" at the prompt.  The game
is self explanatory and may be exited at any time by pressing the
escape key.  The option is given to choose a level of play.  Level 1
limits itself to 25 questions concerning only well known Mother
Goose rhymes and level 2 draws from all 80 questions that are
available and includes some lesser known rhymes.  Preschool children
will enjoy the game but will require the help of an older person to
read the clues and spell the answers.

	I am a professional child care worker who began writing
programs in response to a need for learning tools.  This need is not
being addressed appropriately by the commercial distributors.
Mother Goose is being distributed as shareware, a concept that
allows free trial of the product and then asks that if you continue
to use it you "register" by sending a fee to the author.  The fee
for registration of the "Mother Goose Game" is $8.  For this fee you
will receive a disk that contains the latest version of the game.
This frees you of the reminder screen that appears each time the
game is exited.  I welcome any comments or suggestions that you may
have.
