Reviews

"A+ educational content....Wonderful... to share with young kids -- to broaden their horizons and discover new places of interest!" --Common Sense Media "The books are full of fun facts, hidden easter eggs, and rhyme-based storytelling. They're infused with keywords from the featured country's language, helping teach kids correct pronunciation and useful phrases for travel." --Parentology "Purpose is at the core of the Tiny Travelers launch... The goal is to expose kids to the vastness and diversity of the world beyond their backyards, engendering empathy for different cultures, geographies and languages at a time when people all over the world are more connected than ever via digital platforms." --Forbes "Great for kids of all ages, the interactive book is packed full of beautiful illustrations and rhyme-based storytelling." --Red Tricycle "Teachers, and home-schooling parents, can use the Tiny Travelers(TM) series to introduce geography to their students and toddlers in addition to cultures, sports, nature, people, and places. Curious preschoolers will question and compare what they learn with their own world. Adding the "Search and Find" segment gives each child a hands-on experience with both reading and the content at hand." --Sue Morris, Kid Lit Reviews "This series would be perfect for elementary classrooms and libraries!" --Megan Honeycutt, Librarian "This series is perfect for parents or educators who want to introduce new countries to kids, and teach them more about these counties. I absolutely love the pronunciation guides with the words!" --Heather Justus, Educator
