"It's been a long time since John Wexo first came up with the idea for Zoobooks while standing in front of a primate enclosure at the zoo. Back then, in 1980, his idea was simple: to create a colorful, concise, informative series of animal books that could be impulsively purchased at the very spot interest was highest-at the animal enclosures themselves, through vending machines."
PRODUCT REVIEW
As the temperature is slowly dropping (in most places), children and parents are beginning to spend more time indoors. You all should be taking the opportunity to bond and become closer. One of the best ways to grow closer with your children is by reading. I know it had a very strong effect on me and I'm sure it will on you and your children.
Reading isn't always about the words. In this case, Zoobies, Zootles and Zoobooks provides your children with an adventure through words, pictures, and interactive activities. Children has short attention spans and the wonderful team behind Zoobies, Zootles and Zoobooks does more than enough to entertain and educate your children!
We read through each of the 3 magazines and couldn't decide which one was our favorite. I know I enjoyed the Zoobooks copy but that could be because it had more activities for the children. The images are just wonderful and the stories/activities are great at holding everyones attention!
Thanks to Wildlife Education, Ltd, I was sent one copy of each of the three magazines shown below:
Zoobooks for children ages 6 to 12:
Zoobooks is the all-in-one, everything-you-wanted-to-know-but-didn't-know-who-to-ask guide to the world's most fascinating animals, birds, reptiles, and insects.
Zootles for children ages 2 to 6:
Just like Zoobooks, Zootles is full of animal fun. And Zootles is written to be shared with young children: pre-readers and beginning readers.
Zoobies for children ages 0 to 2:
Zoobies is full of animal fun for little ones! It's written and sized just right to be shared with infants and toddlers.
