Imagination Library books have been selected by experts for each age level. The books often include tips on the fly-leaf for how parents can engage their young readers and help them to get the most from their books. Children LOVE getting mail addressed to them! Here are just a few endorsements from happy parents and grandparents... Who Doesn't Love Fan Mail? "While my grandson is only 21 months old, one of his favorite activities is to be read to. Since the Imagination Library books began arriving in the mail, we have a daily ritual of going to the mailbox to check and see if it is 'New Book Day'. When it is, he is literally jumping for joy and you can be sure we will be sitting reading his new book for at least the next hour!" "What I really want to say is this was a great big gift. Books are such an expense now and it was so wonderful to have an accessible way for my little one to get new books regularly. I didn’t want him to miss out on that. He’s five now, so he ran the full course, but every time he sees a picture of Dolly, he gets so happy! He’s never going to forget her and what she did. Way to start out great in life, with books and gratitude and happiness." "We love our books from Miss Dolly’s library. My little would flip to the back cover of each new book, find Miss Dolly’s picture, give her a kiss and say “thank you Miss Dolly for my new book! I love Miss Dolly!” Followed by a huge hug for the book. We’ve aged out now but we treasure those books." "I am a new pediatrician in Cottonwood. I am happy to say my clinic at the Community Health Center of Yavapai has this in place and I recommend it to my patients every day, in addition to enjoying the wonderful books with my own two little ones. Thank you so much for helping provide this wonderful service." Kara Block, MD Cards and Letters |
