<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi! I just received the following announcement that Third Week Books is offering to customize the cover of their 8x8 paperback book
<i>Rock-A-Bye Baby Reader</i> and it’s Spanish version <i>Despertar a la lectura</i>.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">What are the books like?</span></b><span style="color:#1F497D"> Check out
<a href="http://www.thirdweekbooks.com/samplepages.html">sample pages online</a>. On the left pages they have a simple, cute cut-paper illustration sand simple classic rhymes for babies. On the right pages they have photos of adults from all walks of life reading
with babies and toddlers and have simple early literacy information and reading tips for caregivers. The Spanish edition is not a translation of the English version, it includes culturally appropriate Spanish language rhymes and provides the English translation
of those. I typically shy away from promoting for-profit products like this, but this one would be an excellent giveaway to families with babies. This book was brought to my attention by a librarian who participated in the Reading for Healthy Families early
literacy training project and thought it would be of interest to other early childhood professionals.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">What do they mean by “offering to customize the cover?”</span></b><span style="color:#1F497D"> During the next print run of these book, the printer will print a message of your choice on the cover such as
“To: New Baby and Family; From: Your Library/Healthy Start”. Check out <a href="http://www.thirdweekbooks.com/customprintoptions.html">
their example online</a>. This offer is only available once or twice a year when the publisher needs to print more copies.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Do these titles come in board book format which is more developmentally appropriate for babies?</span></b><span style="color:#1F497D"> Yes they do! The board books are not scheduled to go to print so can’t
be customized at this time, but you can request to be notified when they are available to be customized by sending an email to:
</span><a href="mailto:TheBabyReader@yahoo.com">TheBabyReader@yahoo.com</a> <br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Does this publisher have more titles?
</span></b><span style="color:#1F497D">They also have a title for toddlers called
<i>Bunnaby Bunny/Elconejito Claudio</i>—this Spanish title is a direct translation of the English. This is a story with a simple narrative about getting dressed. In my opinion the story and illustrations are just okay, but the early literacy information and
tips for parents are very good. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
