## Description

_Stanley’s Sticker Stories_ is the fifth game in Edmark’s Early Learning
Family of educational games designed for young children. The interface is
point-and-click and click-and-drag, and instructions are given verbally when
the mouse is rested over an icon.

On the main page, Stanley the sea otter introduces the player to the game,
which allows a child to create his own animated story using stickers, music
and special sound effects on a chosen background.

The player can view a sample story to get an idea of how his finished story
might look; when he selects See How to Make a Story, Stanley will take him
through all the steps. Once the player chooses Make a New Story, he is taken
to the neighborhood map, where he can select from fifteen different
backgrounds to use in his story, including a plain white background for those
who want to include a lot of text.

From the story page the player can choose from a large number of stickers
featuring characters familiar from other Edmark games such as Bailey’s Book
House and Millie’s Math House, and more, as well as other character and object
stickers which can be resized and animated. Here, the player can also add
music and sound effects or record his own sounds to attach to the stickers on
his page. Text is added from here as well; the player can select from four
fonts, choose a text color and decide how it should line up. If the player
needs help thinking of a story idea he can click on Stanley, who will show an
idea for a story that uses numbers, or one that uses letters and words. As in
all the Edmark Early Learning games, adult options are accessed by pressing
Ctrl/Alt + A in Windows, Option/Command + A on a Macintosh.

When the story is finished it can be saved and played back in See-A-Story mode
and printed from the main story page.
