This is an "electronic book", a game designed for kids which consists of a linearly-told story through still screens filled with hot-spots where kids can click and get animations, sounds, etc.

In this one, Harry and his friends Stinky, Earl and Amy are playing baseball when Harry hits one into the window of an old abandoned house. So the team embarks on a rescue mission to get the ball back from the seemingly "haunted" house.

The graphics in the game are all colorful cartoon drawings and the game has numerous sound options that include full narration, or the specific pronunciation of any word you click on. [source:mobygames]
