Caesar, Mirrorsoft's intrepid rodent exterminator is on the move again. This time he is part of their Early Learning Series and he's teaching reading.

Caesar's Travels comes as a book and cassette set. The book will make good bed-time reading for several nights as it is not just one story. It starts with the cat being thrown out of his home because he is a failure as a mouser and leap-frogs the reader through the book unitl he comes to one of the endings. There are eighteen stories in all linked at various points and all well written.

The cassette follows the same tales but in a simplified form. There is a card to fit over the function keys. This has the commands needed and is easy to use. The sound and graphics capabilities of the C64 are put to good use. The cat miaows as he swims to shore and you hear the fairground sounds when Caesar is stuck in the big wheel.

This is a beautiful program, well thought out, educational and entertaining.
