TumbleBooks
There are three products offered by TumbleBooks. These products are available by remote and in-house access. Pricing is available upon request for Readables and TalkingBooks.
TumbleBook Library is an online collection of TumbleBooks, which are animated, talking picture books that teach kids the joy of reading in a format they’ll love. TumbleBooks are created by taking existing picture books and adding animation, sound, music and narration to produce an electronic picture book which you can read, or have read to you. The TumbleBook Library collection is accessed online from every computer in your school or library with Internet connection, or from home through a direct link on your school or library website. The TumbleBook Library is a collection of licensed titles from children’s book publishers such as Scholastic, Chronicle Books, Candlewick Press, Harcourt, Walker and Company and others.
TumbleReadables is a collection of large print electronic books which allows you to read books online by simply clicking a button. Our TumblePad Reader, with its innovative font size slider, enables the viewer to raise the font size to up to 34 point, bringing the joy of reading to young and old.
TumbleTalkingBooks is a collection of streaming audio books for the home or in-house user. Libraries have a collection of interchangeable titles. Libraries that have not participated in the past are able to join this group purchase opportunity at a significant discount.
