Some of these books are new titles that he has created specifically for eReaders (like WHY DO KITTENS DO THAT? and SILLY ZOO ANIMAL JOKES & RIDDLES). But, he also sees this as an opportunity to bring some of his treasured, out-of-print older books like ANIMAL FACT / ANIMAL FABLE, and the PLANET books back to life.If you have access to a digital reader (or you know a kid who does), this is the time to give these eBooks a try. After all, lifelong readers find their way in through all sorts of different channels.
