Counting and reading books ignite joy and curiosity in kids aged 3–6 by introducing them to a world of numbers, words, stories, and colorful illustrations. The Twenty at Bedtime counting series is an adorable collection of picture books featuring three five-minute bedtime stories, each highlighting a cuddly character — dinosaurs, elves, or unicorns, and making each reading session a delightful adventure.
The hilarity continues with the popular Butt Books. Packed with laugh-out-loud rhymes and zany illustrations, the boy with the bothersome backside and his comical adventures keep everyone giggling in new tales from cover to cover.
Long before The Goonies or Stranger Things, there were the mystery-solving teen detectives Frank and Joe Hardy, known as The Hardy Boys. Initially published in 1928 by a group of ghostwriters under the collective pseudonym of Franklin W. Dixon, the action adventures of the amateur sleuths, their friends, and private investigator father ignited a worldwide phenomenon, transcending page-turning mysteries into pop culture with generations of readers. Gift the stories that started it all. Aspiring detectives will love them!
