[aisle] Tumblebooks Question

[Kathleen Kerner]

The Rosen PowerKnowledge databases also have a robust translation feature
for their articles.  We have our school Tumblebook subscription through a
partnership with our local public library, which is a subscriber.  That
might be a question to pursue with your local library and Tumblebooks.
Otherwise, it would be too pricey for us.

"The simplest way to make sure that we raise literate children is to teach
them to read, and to show them that reading is a pleasurable activity. And
that means, at its simplest, finding books that they enjoy, giving them
access to those books, and letting them read them." -- Gaiman, Neil. "Neil

Guardian. Guardian News and Media, 15 Oct. 2013.
