I liked reading the sample pages of the 5,000 AWESOME FACTS book.
I also like the family tab that shares ideas for BOREDOM BUSTERS
Brain games, science experiments, and outdoor fun.
I didn't realize the kiddos could play games on the website. Both my son and daughter will love this! Very cool. Thanks!
My son would love to read Bet You Didn't Know! and How Things Work and then impress us all with his new knowledge!
I learned that orcas are called "wolves of the sea" because they hunt as a team. They are among the most successful hunters in the world!
Oh I didnt know they have a video section! That is so neat! We love watching videos on youtube, but always have to search for ones we like. This is perfect, and so many to choose from!
I absolutely love that they make books. I used to only think that they had magazine subscriptions and kid magazines. What a pleasant surprise!
