Storia, Fun, Interactive & Educational Scholastic eBook App Review and $25 Storia Gift Card!!!

storia_logo_

Our whole family loves books.  I love real books but I am also embracing eBooks that I can read on my iPad more than I thought.  My kids like it that I have some children’s books on there too and they will look as it as a fun treat when we read an eBook.  Scholastic has a division of eBooks that are fun, educational and interactive called Storia.

When you join Storia you get five free eBooks.  You can also organize your Storia eBooks by having an age appropriate shelf for each child and they will have their books in one spot.  You just create an account and then you can go on and buy an eBook and it will go right into your account.

The first eBook I ordered was Good Boy, Fergus! and it was only a little because Fergus is a West Highland White Terrier just like our Zoey.  You can easily shop by age for your Storia eBooks or you can put a title or author in the search bar.  If you are looking for the great scholastic books your kid’s love on eBooks, you should check out Storia and get your five free eBooks.

“Pigs in Pajamas” by Maggie Smith Review and Giveaway!!!

Random_House_logo

Pigs in Pajamas  like to have parties and eat lots of pizza topped with pickles, then they like to form pyramids, play piano and with pinatas and much more.  This book is all about some adorable pigs at a slumber party and all words beginning with P.  These pigs keep going with lots of letter P fun until they are pooped.  My little guys loved Pigs in Pajamas by Maggie Smith when we read it recently and added it to our collection.  It is a wonderful book for preschoolers and you can use it as a springboard for talking about how the letter P sounds and all words beginning with that perfect P.

At Penelope Pig’s sleepover party, six pigs in pj’s eat pizza and pasta, pound a pinata, pin the tail on the pony, prance to piano, and then form a precarious pyramid—collapsing, of course, into a squealing pig pile!

Maggie Smith combines rollicking rhymes and infectious alliterations to make a perfectly pleasing book filled with fun and the letter P. And while there are scads of P words in the text, the art has even more—the pictures are filled with more than 75 objects beginning with the letter P for young readers to find. The playful pictures also introduce other preschool concepts, such as colors, shapes, patterns, and counting.

Pigs in Pajamas offers a fun way to get preschoolers thinking about language and building their vocabularies. Party on, Penelope Pig!
