KUTOKA INTRODUCES NEW TITLE IN THE MIA COLLECTION

Mia Reading: The Bugaboo Bugs!

MONTREAL- (February 19, 2008) - For Kutoka this is the year of the mouse.

Mia, the mouse and star of their award-winning edutainment software series

will be celebrating ten years of adventures and learning. To kick off the

celebration, Kutoka is launching a new title, Mia Reading: The Bugaboo

Bugs!, into their popular line of fun and educational software for children.

Targeted at five to nine year olds, and developed by experts in education

and in multimedia, The Bugaboo Bugs! focuses on literary skills by combining

an exciting adventure with engaging educational activities that are in sync

with the educational curriculum from kindergarten to grade three.

The Bugaboo Bugs! is about some incredibly troublesome bugs! Mia lives in a

charming Victorian house where her family has lived for generations. The

house has recently been invaded by pests‹the Bugaboos. These disrespectful,

noisy and uncivilized bugs are going to attract the attention of the humans,

and if they are noticed, the exterminators will be called and everyone will

be put out on the street! The Bugaboos must go! And Mia needs the player¹s

help to find a way to get them to stay out of site.

ENGAGING EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Mia¹s Reading Adventure has been designed to support a school¹s curriculum

from kindergarten to grade three, and includes 12 exciting literacy skills

activities each with four distinct age-appropriate levels of difficulty.

Topics covered include associating images to words, punctuation, phonics,

rhymes, spelling, sentence structure, vocabulary, reading comprehension,

word recognition, verb tense, adverbs, following instructions, and much

more! There is an easy to consult progress report and The Bugaboo Bugs!

educational activities are seamlessly integrated into the story. There is

also a feature that allows the player to go directly to the activities. But

of course, it is the adventure that makes a Mia game so special!

NOW ON DVD-ROM!

DVD technology allows more content on a disk so The Bugaboo Bugs! really

shows off the beauty of Mia's World with bigger and higher quality graphics

than previously possible. The 3D world is filled with endearing characters

and is seen from the perspective of a little mouse, who is the heroine of

these adventures. Cute, funny and full of great ideas, Mia has always been

great company for children, generation after generation.

The Bugaboo Bugs! is a brand new adventure with plenty of funny story

twists, lots of surprise animations, fun educational activities and tons of

places to visit. ³All of this adds up to more play time!" said Richard

Vincent, Kutoka's Creative Director. ³In The Bugaboo Bugs!, Kutoka is

revisiting the subject of its very first Mia game ‹ The Search for Grandma's

Remedy ‹ reading. Now the original Mia Reading title that we launched ten

years ago, which has been played by over a million children around the

globe, will take a well deserved retirement and will be replaced by this new

title", Vincent added.
