The board books in these sets introduce basic concepts and stories.
Illustrations and/or photographs are large and bright – depicting objects,
people, and animals that young children love! Most books are standard
board book size unless noted in the description.
These books will appeal to children who enjoy listening to stories and
are ideal for those who have become interested in learning to read
independently. Books contain beautiful illustrations, pictures, and balanced
text to spark a child’s imagination and bring the stories to life. You will
find a wide selection of fiction and nonfiction.

satisfy the needs of today’s diverse student population. Many are well-known
books translated for the growing Spanish population.
We offer a number of book sets and individual titles that focus on African
American cultures and themes. Many feature African American character(s)
