Isn’t that amazing! Pages 4 to 11 are Value Packs! These are great ways to save money. There is a red bar with stars on the edge of all of these pages. I would like to tell you about the best and worst set. The BEST is on page 7 The Internet-Linked Reference Set. You can buy these 3 Encyclopedias for $99.95 or if you would like our 4th Encyclopedia – The Ancient World, you can buy the 4 book set of $120.00. These books are for 3rd grade and beyond.

These books are wonderful gift for those unexpected birthday parties and you get 4 good gifts for under $30! The Worst is on page 9 – The Easy words to Read Set. The books are fabulous but they are price wrong in this set. On pages 18 & 19 are the Combined Volumes. This is the First Book of Knowledge Show your favorite – (Amanda shows FYT with CD) These are our Best Sellers and will save you a lot of money Do you have a gift drawer for those unexpected Birthday parties or activities for rainy days & bored children? Pages: 24 to 37 are for you. Most of these kits come either in a plastic bag or a box. They include the complete book and everything you need to do the activity. The plastic bag has Velcro on the flap and is great to keep all the pieces together. The box usually gets thrown away. As we proceed through the rest of the Catalog it may be overwhelming there are 1500 separated titles. I will be here to help you with your selections and answer any questions after this presentation Pages 56 -63 are for Babies and Toddlers and have a green edge.

Preschool & Kindergarten are the pink edge pages 63 to 73. On page 66 you will find There’s a Mouse About the House (show the book all the way through) this is a slot book – it is fun, works on fine motor skills and introduces the left to right motion of reading.

If the child likes the book they will have an understanding of the story and can read the original book. On page 89 & 90 you will find our Great searches (show your favorite) these are great for the reluctant reader. Numbers are written not numeration. There is a lot of reading around the edges. These books are enjoyed by 8 to 15 year olds. (although my son has loved they since he was 4) For younger children we have the 1001 Things to Spot series (show Big Book of Things to Spot). These books take numbers beyond rote counting, as well as numeration & matching.

Stories of Shakespeare makes a wonderful gift. We have Princesses, Pirates, Dinosaurs, Knights, Hands On, Things that Move, and Languages on their own pages. On page 117 I would like to show bring you attention to the second best value in the catalog. The Children’s Encyclopedia in the reduced size is $14.99. This book is IL for the preschooler to the 6th grader and presents a wealth of knowledge.
