Free Animated On-line Books for your kiddos!

Howard B.Wigglebottom is an adorable bunny with a problem - Howard just doesn't listen!  I bet none of you have kiddos like that!  I know I have one or two with that problem a time or two!  The great thing about Howard B.Wigglebottom is that he is the lead character in a series of animated on-line books, (which are available absolutely free if you click here) that teach children about listening.

One of the things that I love about the books (aside from their amazing animation which will keep even your wiggly little ones engaged) is the fact that the words are printed on the page.  Your child can follow along as the story is read which is a great way to increase their own reading skills. Listening to reading is one of the best ways to increase a child's fluency as they hear a good reader reading.

Another great thing about the site is that it also includes free lesson plans and posters to use with your child as you read the books.
