Salty and the Pirates, a children's multimedia activity kit and interactive family boating travel book come complete with a music and interactive art CD!

Here are simple instructions from Salty to help you use the enhanced CD you'll find on the inside back cover of your book.

Music instructions

Click here for a list of the tracks and song titles.

    Standard audio music player - insert CD into your CD player and play Salty's Songs of the Sea just as you would any other music CD.

    Computer audio music player - insert CD into your computer and open your audio music program (this varies depending on what programs you have and where they are located). Hit 'play' to start with track 1 or select the track of your choice.

    If you have any problems playing your music CD or need additional instructions, send us a message telling us the nature of the problem. We'll help you get the music going!

 

Printable coloring book files, Adobe PDF, instructions

Click here for a list of the CD-ROM files.

    Insert CD into your computer. Open Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't have this program, it is available as a quick and easy free download at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. You may then open and print pages cb1-full adobe through cb16-full adobe ('cb' stands for coloring book). With the Acrobat Reader, you can resize the coloring pages or print them 'as is' which is a full 8.5" x 11" page in portrait format.

    If you have any problems or need additional instructions, send a message to the artists at Salty's World, telling us the nature of the problem. We'll help you get up and printing!

 

Computer graphics training files, BMP, instructions

Click here for a list of the CD-ROM files.

    Insert CD into your computer. Open a painting program or install one on your computer. Most PC operating systems come with a painting program in Accessories, and most MAC computers have a painting or graphics program loaded.

    Once you're in the program, open any of the BMP files, cb1-full through cb16-full ('cb' stands for coloring book). Following the program's instructions, try different ways of coloring the marine fantasy pictures. The level of challenge is up to you--you can keep it simple or make very detailed customized art.

    Help Tips:

            Fill: Select the 'Fill' tool, then click your mouse in the section you want to color. If the color you've chosen fills more area than you want it to, it means that the section you are trying to color is not 'closed'. Fill tools require that the selected area not include open lines. When this happens, try the next tip.

            Drawing: Select a drawing tool. Use the drawing tool to close in the section where you want the particular color. You can also use the drawing tool to cover over the black line of the coloring pages, creating a beautiful 'custom' look.

            Zoom: Try zooming in and making the area you are working with very large on your screen. In this way, you can make a very detailed painting on your computer.

    If you have any problems or need additional instructions, send a message to the artists at Salty's World, telling us the nature of the problem. We'll help you get up and painting!
