Move the mouse pointer over the bookshelf to see the titles. Click on the one you want. The cover is then displayed and the song for that story is played. You can click on the page turn icon at any time to start the story. Each page has a 'Speak' button and a 'Go back to the bookcase' button. To hear individual lines spoken, just click on them. There are animations on each page which will happen at random. They will also be activated if you click on the relevant hotspot. The animations are inactive while the text is being read.
