    There are many things I like about their website. I like to parent and homeschool section, the activities, and the fact that you can do a book of the month club so you can pay over time. I would really like to win these books to experience their quality first hand.

    I've not heard of these before but I think my son would love them. He's really into wild animals right now, and I'm afraid if I showed him the site he would want every title. We will be looking for these at the library!! I liked the section on the site for homeschoolers as well.

    I didn't know you had a blog - I have heard lots about Itty Bitty and was bummed when I did not win Jolanthe's Itty Bitty giveaway. I have a 2 and 4 year old so I am hoping to enter yours!

    I am a brand new LIS, or LMS, at the primary level. I love the way these books are linked to the standards, other activities, and the information about the author (s) and illustrator (s)! I have added this site to my favorites tab, and as soon as I figure out how to purchase books... I will be back!
