Did you know there are games and toys and educational materials, in addition to fiction and non-fiction books designed for readers just born to middle readers (young adults)? And there are books are in over 100 languages (including British and American English, as I noticed with alternations of the title words holiday/vacation and journey/trip). Also, there are "dual" books, with a shorter version of a story at the top of the page, and a longer version at the bottom, so you can read it by skill level or attention span.
I ordered the Magnet Airport book, and Finger Rhymes, which includes an online link to hear the rhymes.On my near-future Wish List: That's Not My Dragon, Usborne Preschool Activities: Animal Fun, Under the Sea jigsaw puzzle book, and 100 things for little children to do on a trip.
You can browse what we saw, and place an order in this store through June 29th. Thanks Melissa, friends, and family!
Sounds like fun!
