The Kidstory Series is a series of six interactive storybooks for children, developed by Brilliant Interactive Ideas and produced by Active Imagination (a Packard Bell company) on CD-ROM for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows. The stories are narrated by the host Mick.[1] Glen Uslan, the Vice President of Active Imagination, intended the products to be affordable for customers, while retaining good quality. The company intended to have a total of 15 titles produced by the end of the year.[2] By 1996, the company invested around $400,000 in additional titles.[3]
