TUMBLEBOOKS: TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of
animated, talking picture books which teach young children the joys of reading
in a format they'll love. They are
created by taking existing picture books, adding animation, sounds, music and
narration to produce an electronic picture book (and some classics) which you
can read, or have read to you. The language drop-down menu allows you to view
the site in French and Spanish, instead of English.
Did you know
that we have this valuable resource right on our website for free? Just go to www.kimballlibrary.com and look for
the TumbleBook icon in the top right portion of the page. Click on it and you will be ready to read and
listen! Most children are assigned
reading on a nightly basis, and this is a new way to engage your child. Also, teens and adults can brush up on their
foreign language studies by using the Spanish and French options. Happy Tumbling!
