The Ultimate Interactive Storybook Maker!

Destination: Neighborhood, the first in a series of storytelling theme packs, is used with Edmark's Imagination Express - a powerful and versatile storytelling tool. Its features include an interesting combination of photorealistic and drawn art; a Sample E-Book (interactive electronic book) written using Destination: Neighborhood; Story Ideas presented to children by children; and expert tips for parents.

Destination: Neighborhood, centers around the familiar places in your child's life: the kitchen, the park, the school, the neighborhood shopping area. There is even a tree house to appeal to the child who enjoys playing in a "secret fort" - and what child doesn't! These everyday places provide an inviting environment for storytelling about real-life experiences and for expressing thoughts and feelings about these experiences.

Children can:

  • Tell stories about real people, pets, and favorite things.
  • Record memorable events.
  • Keep journals or diaries.
  • Share their lives and thoughts through letters and stories.

    Destination: Neighborhood, lends itself to fictional writing as well. As children play with backgrounds and stickers (characters and props), they experiment with ideas and soon begin to:

  • Invent silly or humorous tales.
  • Tell imaginary stories about familiar things.

    A child with "writer's block" can refer to the Destination: Neighborhood Story Ideas where kids in a tree house will provide good ideas - and a few chuckles!

    Powerful, but friendly, tools provide endless creative possibilities:

  • Animated stickers can rotate and automatically resize against colorful background art.
  • Prerecorded or child-produced sounds, narration, and music enliven stickers and scenes.
  • Text may either be framed in decorative borders or entered directly onto backgrounds.
  • Your child's finished product can be printed, or produced on-screen as an interactive electronic book (E-Book).

    Destination: Neighborhood "grows with your child." Powerful Adult Options allow you to turn features on or off to suit your child's abilities. Younger children can use the program as a computerized puppet theater or doll house (by selecting backgrounds and filling them with stickers); older children can create elaborate interactive e-Books. Children emerge as enthusiastic storytellers, becoming writers, sound producers, directors, and book publishers right at their computers.
