• TumbleBook Library

  A fun and interactive library of animated, talking story books for preschoolers, beginner readers and older independent readers. TumbleBooks are created by taking existing story books, adding animation, sound, music and narration to produce an electronic (e-book) story book. Children can chose to read on their own or have the stories read aloud to them. Some books feature "Word Help" to assist children in sounding out words. There are also book-related puzzles and games to play. Stories are available in English, Spanish, and French. (Flash Plug-In required.)
