I made a simple HyperCard Stack which contained pictures of animals, culled
from various clip art collection I have access to, and sounds that the animals
make, from PD sources.  When the mouse was moved over an animal, its name came
up.  When the mouse button was clicked over an animal, it made its sound.  My
(at the time) 2 year old loved it.  

I found it necessary to partially disable Quit, so that files couldn't be moved
around on the desktop and have their names changed to things like "/".
