Synopsis
The newest--and hottest--children's educational property is launching this fall. It's coming to video, television, toys, clothing, bedding, and--with help from Running Press Kids--to books! We're introducing our series of Word World books with eight titles this fall, and at least eight more books to follow soon after. The concept behind Word World, vetted by well-known psychologist Dr. Laura Brown, is innovative and educationally sound. The program is expected to become part of school curricula across the country. It's all about word building, a key skill for children aged 3 to 6 that comes alive in the books, which are interactive, educational, and fun. These two books have text based on the first two episodes of the upcoming video/television series, and feature multiple lift-the-flaps per page. Each book has ten pages made of strong coated board, designed to withstand the many readings they're destined to receive. Sheep is performing a magic show for all of her Word World friends.
