INTERACTIVE BOOKS
for Primary and Preschool Children

It make take some time for pictures to load properly, but your patience will be rewarded
with the knowledge of what your books will be like.

Counting Kids by Annie Kubler. A Child's Play board book. Children use the abacus that is available from every page to count objects in response to specific questions in the text. At the same time, children learn to do simple addition and subtraction word problems. Made of sturdy hard board. $10.76-D

Eddie's Finger Quiz: Connections. Barron's, 2000. First American Edition. This series is now out of print, but I have this one book left. It is new.  Children four and older will love testing their knowledge with this fun and easy finger quiz. At the top of each page is a question. At the bottom, three possible answers. Using their index finger, children select what they think is the correct answer by putting their finger through one of the three holes below the answers. Then they turn the page. If their finger is in the same hole that Eddie is pointing to, they know right away they've picked the correct answer. This is the same size as a mass market paperback book. It is great for use in the car, waiting in the doctor's office, or for other quiet times when independent activities are needed. This book helps young children think through how objects and ideas are related to each other. Spiral bound for easy use. First written in German and translated into English by Kathleen Luft. BT-3482. $7.95*

Flip-card fun by Ana Nilsen. These handy packages of three spiral-bound card games have instructions to parents on the inside top covers and the games are attached to the bottom covers. Velcro™ is used to open and close book. Picture directions for children are on the back cover. (See sample of I Can Subtract.back.)

    I Can Add, Cat. #KF-52383, $8.96-D
    I Can Subtract, #KF-52391, $8.96-D

Ten Beads Tall by Pam Adams. Children use the string of beads available from every page to measure the objects in the pictures. Every object is a certain number of beads long, wide or tall. A great way to introduce young children to the fun of measurement.  Made of sturdy hard board. $10.76-D

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
