Feature: Tuttle Publishing Company

     Hello dearies! Who here loves reading? A book worm maybe, but that doesn't matter as long as you thirst for new information I'm pretty sure you want to own a hardbound book. In this age of digital technology, most books are in form of e-books. I'm not against those gadgets and book reader apps but I confess that I still prefer the traditional way of reading. I love flipping the pages of magazines, the smell of old books in the library, colorful visuals of cookbooks, and loads of information from reference books like dictionaries, language learning booklets, and many more!

     Months ago, Tuttle Publishing asked me if I want to feature their books and give one of them to my readers. Without a doubt, I said yes because I want to rekindle my love in studying Foreign languages and I find their language learning books interesting because some include audio discs, charts, and flashcards! When I visited Tuttle's website, I found a wide selection of books- name it, they have it because they are publishing 150 new titles every year! Whew!

Feature: Tuttle Publishing Company + Giveaway!Tuttle Japanese for Kids Flash Cards

This set contains:

• 64 Flash Cards (4" x 5.5") that get children talking- about Numbers, Colors, Food, and more. Kenzo likes the flashcards and he remembers the word after 2 or 3 glances at the pictures. It's colorful and the pictures are perfect for kids. These everyday words and sentences can help children learn naturally. 
• Audio CD that provides native pronunciation of the Japanese words, and sample sentences for practice plus Japanese songs to help with learning. Learning words for Kenzo is easy because before I received this kit, he's watching Tomica die-cast cars from YouTube so he is a bit familiar with simple Japanese words.
• Color Wall Chart (24" x 36") that keeps all the new vocabulary in sight. We both like this chart, it's fun to use and I feel like a real teacher teaching my son his language lessons. With this wall chart, we can play while learning!
• Learning Guide for Parents and Teachers that tells me how to use the cards for the most effective learning. Also includes activities and games :) Learning Japanese for kids will be so much fun!

Tuttle Everyday Bento

     

     Your kids will look forward to lunch every single day with the delightful collection of recipes in Everyday Bento :) According to the author of the book Wendy Thorpe Copley:

The Bento food movement teaches us that foods can be attractive, nutritious, fun and delicious- all at the same time.Kids love to try foods that bring a smile to their faces, and will often eat things they wouldn't otherwise try.

     Besides being great fun to look at, bento lunches are a healthy way to enjoy food while keeping portions in check. Freshly-prepared lunches packed in portable, reusable boxes are also kind to the environment and easy on the wallet- very important in today's economy.

Good Times!~
