Make Time For Reading!



Books, books, books... We love books!

Kumon Books offers our children workbooks that help them academically. KUMON WORKBOOKS AND LEARNING AIDS introduce basic learning skills to children aged 2 through 6. Subjects covered include the alphabet and early reading/writing, counting, addition, subtraction, as well as pencil and scissors skills and fine motor control. They have many books that are great for Pre-K and for Kindergarteners.

Kumon Books also offers learning to continue during bathtime with their fun Tub Time Posters.


Looking For Miza,
is a young female mountain gorilla named Miza. One day, when Miza and her mother were out searching for food, Miza's mother disappeared, leaving her baby alone and frightened. Miza's father, a fierce silverback named Kabirizi and the leader of Virunga's largest family of mountain gorillas, set out to find Miza. The Congolese rangers, who dedicate their lives to protecting the gorillas, were searching for Miza, too. Everyone was worried about her. Then something amazing happened: Kabirizi found Miza and brought her back to live with her family.

We all had such a nice time reading this book to our children. Not only did our children really enjoy looking at the beautiful photographs but it is a touching story about a father searching for his baby.

The new Roadwork book is a new favorite of ours. "Load the dirt. Load the dirt. Scoop and swing and drop. Slam it down into the truck. Bump! Whump! Whop!" There are many big machines and busy people involved in building a road, and this riveting picture book follows them every step of the way. From clearing a pathway (SCREEK!) to rolling the tar (SQUELCH!) to sweeping up at the end (SWISH!), ROADWORK is sure to draw young onlookers with its rambunctious rhymes and noisy fun.

Every preschooler who is mad for machines will revel in this bright, boisterous picture book about the exciting process of building a road.

A Frecklebox gift is something special, for someone truly special to you. Their personalized books and unique toddler gifts allow you to put a very personal touch on your gift.

My son who is one is just obsessed with "Language Nursery" by Baby Einstein. He takes it everywhere. He always has it open looking at the pictures and words. His favorite page is "My name is.." because it has a mirror. Plus he loves to hear me talk to him in all 5 languages, ha ha.
