Online Books Such as Tumble Books

The Okanagan Regional Library or ORL for short has a wealth of information and entertainment for you both in person and at your finger tips.  Check out your local holiday schedule for what's happening at your nearest library, but also browse around their website, and ... be amazed!  While your school libraries will enrich your k-12 experience, the public library will be with you for a lifetime.

First off try out their Tumble Books resource both for elementary level and their TumbleBook Cloud version for middle school and up

At Bastion Elementary we recently enjoyed Canadian children's author Robert Munsch read us a couple of stories over the internet; from Tumble Books enjoy not only his voice, but also the pictures which even include some animation.  Plus there are videos, games, and puzzles to enjoy too - all safe, all quality.

 Here is the direct link to 50 Below Zero by Robert Munsch (from the ORL Tumble Book link; I did a search of Robert Munsch - many books available :) )

Those awesome neighbours tell me there is an optic tv version for Tumble Books too, but I haven't figured out how to use that - I will soon.

Oh my the internet can be a powerful place!  Check the Learning commons blog right side bar for other options of online books and book title suggestions.
