Holiday Gift Ideas -- 3D Pop Up and Sound Books from AZ Books (Review)

logo



One of the things I love best about being a mom is sharing my love of reading with my daughters.  The snuggling up together to read a good book is a bonus. :-)  And, with holiday shopping in full gear, I thought I would share some great interactive books that young children will enjoy having you read to them.  Over the summer, I stumbled across AZ Books and requested a catalog of their books for children.  In addition to the catalog, I was also sent a copy of their "About the Human Body" book, which my nephew fell in love with.  He was learning about he body in school, and this interactive book make learning about the different body parts so much easier, and enjoyable.

So, when I circled around to the publisher and requested a few titles for my holiday guide, I was excited to have them send me the following AZ Books titles to review:

Now, I have read and reviewed hundreds of books on my blog since I began in 2009, but I have to say that these books from AZ Books are really unique and fun to read to young children.  My daughters loved being able to push the buttons on the sound books and hear the different animals make noise.  They couldn't help giggle each time they heard a certain animal sound.  Then, they would try and mimic the sounds.  Now, whenever I ask them what sound a cow, dog, piggy, frog or duck, for instance, makes, they can moo, bark, oink, ribbit or say quack quack.  I smile each time they do this, as it is just so cute.  

When we are playing with the sound books from AZ Books, the girls love it when I pull out the 3D picture books, which also have sound built into the books.  Savannah can't' help but say "ooh, ahh" each time I flip the page and new scene pops up right in front of her eyes.  Her favorite of the pop up books from AZ Book that I was sent was "Who is the Puppy Looking For?" I think she will be a dog lover like my and husband and I. :-)  

I can't wait to pick up more books like see from AZ Books to surprise the girls with this Christmas.  The only difficult thing will be deciding which books to get, and not buying up the entire online store. :-)  If you love sharing books with your children, especially as gifts for the holiday, why not consider picking up sound or 3D books from AZ Books?  Once you see these fun, interactive books up close, I know you will fall in love with them like we have. :-)  And, be sure to head back here and let me know which ones you purchased and what you thought of them, so that I can check them out, too!
