Listen and Read Along with Tumblebooks!
TumbleBooks are animated, talking picture books, which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they’ll love.
TumbleBooks are created by taking existing picture books, adding animation, sound, music and narration to produce an electronic picture book, which you can read, or have read to you. Each title available also has a game or puzzle, which can be easily done by children.
TumbleBooks is available on the library Web site at www.artcircle.crossville.com. Click on Children’s Services and then on the blue TumbleBooks icon to access the site.
