This delightful alphabet book begins with a charming magician who summons animals from around the world. His enchanting spell activates the alphabet, as well as the imagination, bringing each animal into the book letter by letter. Fresh, humorous illustrations over colorful landscapes show creatures in their natural environments- from the yard to the sea, from the Antarctic to the desert. Entertaining animals crawl, jiggle, and float- some are friendly, others a little odd and unfamiliar. Rhyme and alliteration make this exciting alphabet adventure especially fun to read aloud time and time again. Read more

After learning how to make balloon animals at camp, Emily and Elizabeth set out to create the ultimate balloon twist book -- for kids, by kids, with every page in full-color photographs. They left out the complicated designs and twists that required big hands, keeping only the projects that were fun and simple to learn.
The book starts with seven-year-old Elizabeth's easiest balloon twists and works up to ten-year-old Emily's more advanced two and three-balloon creations. Included are suggestions on how to buy a pump and balloons, as well as warnings for noise-shy twisters who want to know when a part of the project needs extra care to avoid popping the balloon.

Most grade-school workbooks try to cover the full range of topics in one workbook, and as a result do not dedicate enough pages to important mathematical concepts. Kumon's research has found, however, that children find learning easier when they tackle one skill set at a time. With these findings in mind, we designed our newest line of workbooks to help children with one particular mathematical skill set per book. Read more
