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. Word building is a basic tenet of reading, and this fun way for kids to practice it is sure to he appreciated by both parents and teachers. Each of these magnet books features 27 stand-alone magnets that can be used on the magnetic pages of the book, or attached to a refrigerator or metal filing cabinet. They give children a hands-on chance to do exactly what the characters in Word World do every day: build many different words using the same letters. Here's a delightful way for young children to interact with Word World characters and visit the whole engaging landscape they inhabit, from the barn with fields and Sheep's hay stack to Bear's Cave and Dog's house on the edge of the forest. How does one get there? By car, Boat, or Train, of course!Moody-Luther, Jacqui is the author of 'Word World Stop That Noise!', published 2004 under ISBN 9780762419944 and ISBN 0762419946.
