REVIEW:
Parents, teachers and especially students will enjoy these books. They provide a wealth of reading materials for children. The books are animated, colorful and include music, sound effects and voices. As children follow along, the words are highlighted as they are read aloud providing hours of educational fun. In addition to the books, children will find cartoons, music, puzzles, games, and jokes. This could be a great motivator for the classroom.

For inspiration, check out these professionally recorded and animated children's books and songs. The books are very child friendly (no inappropriate content), and both the books and songs support beginning readers by highlighting each word as it is being read or sung aloud. The sample pages shown here are from one of their most popular books, Metamorphosis-you'll have to go online to read the rest and to hear the adorable way this one is sung.

Great way to use technology! The students enjoy your site. I made it an extra activity, so everything the students read increases the amount of writing they do. My students love to write, but your site gave them the audience they needed to encourage that writing beyond the classroom.

Thanks for your wonderful books. I have saved it on to my pen drive and am taking it to school on Monday to show the children.
I am particularly pleased about the story called Metamorphosis as I have got 32 little caterpillars in the class which the children helped to place in little cases with food and watch them grow. We are about to watch them form a chrysalis and hang from a net for a few weeks before becoming butterflies and being set free.
They have been really interested in them and I have being trying to access as many books as possible at their level of understanding. The e-book will be just perfect as they all love using the computer. - Elementary School Specialist Teacher

I've never made a request to use a story I've found on the Internet in the classroom before, mostly because I've never found a story I'd like to use. I'm unsure of the protocol to even make this request.
I love your books, stories and songs. I've been unable to find this story in book form. Is it available for purchase?
Also, I teach Reader's Theater to grades ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to fifth grade in a Title I school in Miramar, Florida. Title I is a designation for economically disadvantaged.
I would love to do Little Owl's Adventure in my classroom as a puppet show. It definitely would not be for profit, and although I'd love to have it performed for the Parent Teacher Organization (PTA) meeting, I'd understand if you didn't want it used at such a public forum, even with full credit.

Would it be possible for me to do this story as a play? I'd like to have the children say the words, to rhythm, using an owl, baby owl, weasel and beetle puppet. They would love it, they already love the story. Please let me know the proper way to go about this, I do love your books.

I let my little grand niece, who is 4, watch (read) your books the other week when I was in San Antonio; she enjoyed it immensely. After a couple of hours I had to tell her my computer was not working to get her away.

These books are great! I played some games, did a few puzzles and really loved the "A is Adorable" song. That's the kind of song kids get in their little heads and sing over and over again...the kind of song we loved when the kids were little. I forwarded the page to my kids who, at 13 and 15, still love to color and learn goofy kids songs. It's always good to have an arsenal of entertainment options when little kids live in the neighborhood!!!!!!

We love your books! My five-year-old and I were mesmerized by the story The Blue-Lined Socks. We are having such fun checking out the stories. I know a lot of moms who would love this site.
