Having a Nintendo DS does not limit one to only playing games on it, but also learning and reading on it. For Enid Byton fans out there, you can read one of her famous series ‘Faraway trees stories’ right from your DS! ( another selling point for you kids out there to get your parents to buy a Nintendo DS )

Only… it is a little bit more fun and without the bulkiness of a book. The collection contains six books – The Enchanted Wood, The Magic Faraway Tree, The Folk of the Faraway Tree, Silky and the Rainbow Feather, Melody and the Enchanted Harp and and Petal and the Eternal Bloom. They are interactive where you can click on links for pictures of characters and also sound effects. Collect mushrooms, flowers, feathers and musical notes as you read through to unlock bonuses and secrets. There are even progress tracker for the parents to check how much their kids have read and quizzes about the stories to see how much the kids understand and remember.
