If you're bored with reading the same old tales or you forget to say them the 'right' way, try the Internet for inspiration
Fun With Spot
Spot is the famous canine character invented by Eric Hill, whose storybooks are well known amongst infants. Now adapted for the Web, Spot can be seen in a range of adventures and activities which children can interact with – find the hidden animals, adventures on the farm and at the beach, or send postcards. You can use the pictures to tell a story or follow the captions provided.
When animated by the multimedia functions of the Web, stories suddenly come alive. `Spot’s Windy Day´ is magical online, accompanied by wonderful illustrations that help dramatise the adventure.

Interactive magic
Even for very young children, the Internet is a great form of stimulation. Imagination flies when children use interactive and animated sites and all of the activities they get involved in will help develop their learning skills. You’ll also feel better because you won’t feel so stressed about having to read a story for the umpteenth time.
And that’s the key reason for looking to the Internet for inspiration. Traditional stories are often given brilliant makeovers. Characters walk, talk and are drawn into new adventures, the stories of which can be retold at bedtime. Why not print some of the animations in order to illustrate the tale? It's a great way to stave off the tedium attacks.
