Select a Mode
Read To Me
When you make the Read To Me selection, your pointer
will disappear as you see the book unfold page by
page. Your pointer will only reappear when you return to
the Control Panel Page after the book is finished.
You can also use the Enter key on your keyboard to
return to the Control Panel Page.
Use the right or left arrow key on your keyboard to skip
ahead or see an earlier page in the book. You can switch
to Let Me Play mode by pressing P on your keyboard. 

Let Me Play
When you click the Let Me Play button, you'll be able
to start exploring each page after its introduction. Use
the mouse to select different items you would like to
see come to life on the screen. There are many hidden
buttons on every page, so be sure to search carefully
before turning each page. You can switch to Read To Me
mode while reading the book by pressing R on your
keyboard.

Options Page
Clicking the Options button will take you to the
Options Page where you can go directly to any page in
the book in interactive (Let Me Play) mode. You cannot
jump directly into the story in passive (Read To Me)
mode. To go directly to a page, click the forward and
back arrows until you see the page number you want. Then
click OK to go to that page. 

To see the Credits for The Cat in the Hat, click the
Credits button. When the Credits are finished, you will
return to the Options Page. To return to the Control Panel 
Page, click the arrow at the bottom left of the page, or
press the Enter key.

Turning Pages
To turn pages, click the forward or back pointing hands 
located in the lower-right and lower-left corners of the 
screen, or press the right or left arrows on your 
keyboard. To return to the main selection screen, click 
the page number at the bottom of each screen, or 
press the Enter key.

Printing Pages
While reading or playing in the interactive pages of the
product, you can print out the screen by pressing the Ctrl+P 
key combination.  It will print only in landscape mode
to match the shape of the screen.

Activities
Sprinkled throughout the pages of The Cat in the Hat		
are areas on the screen where your pointer (the arrow on
the screen) turns into a hand as the pointer passes over them.  
This indicates that in these areas you can move
something by holding the mouse button down and then
dragging the mouse.  On some pages, you can click on 
running characters or flying objects and they will 
react.  You can also find puzzles, a painting area, and
other fun discoveries.  The hidden bird character is 
somewhere on every page.

At the end of the Balancing Game, you can play the game
again immediately by pressing the spacebar on the keyboard.

2. Troubleshooting

Shortcuts
In either mode of play, you can press the Alt key to
display or hide the menu bar, which will be hidden when
play begins. Press the Return or Enter key from anywhere in 
the story to go directly to the Control Panel Page. You
can use the Ctrl key and the up or down arrow combination
to adjust your computer's volume level. Press the "R" 
key for Read To Me and the "P" key for Let Me Play on 
your keyboard to change from one mode to the other. 
Press the Ctrl key +Q combination from anywhere in the story 
to quit.
