TumbleBook Library
 The
TumbleBook Library is a collection of TumbleBooks
(animated, talking picture books) TumblePuzzles.
TumbleBooks are created from existing picture books
which we have licensed from children's book publishers
and converted to the TumbleBook format.
Navigating the Site:
You may want to first explore the site and check out
all the books, games and features. Our catalogue has
book descriptions, book reviews, and
author/illustrator/publisher information. You can view a
TumbleBook by clicking on the ‘View Online” button.
There are a number ways you can access a book:
- The index page lists all the TumbleBooks and
TumbleGames. Click on the hyperlink and it will take
you right to that TumbleBook.
- Scroll through the collection in any of the
sections to read the descriptions and view the
reading levels.
Once you have familiarized yourself with the
collection however, the fastest and easiest way to get
to your favorite books is by adding your class favorites
to the My Favorites section. Add and delete the titles
you want easy access to.
TumbleBooks:
Automatic/Manual Button: TumbleBooks are designed to
be experienced in either automatic or manual mode. In
automatic mode, the pages turn by themselves and are
narrated; in manual, the narration is turned off and
children turn the pages at their own speed.
The Pause Button: You can use the pause button to
stop the story at any time in order to practice story
prediction, interpret pictures, discuss new vocabulary
words, empathize with a character, discuss possible
consequences of actions, encourage problem solving, or
provide historical, geographical, or other perspectives.
TumblePad Word Helper: This new feature allows
you to click on a book to hear a sentence repeated, or
click on a vocabulary word in order to hear it sounded
out.
Reading Levels: Each title has recommended
reading levels for both automatic and manual modes.
Click on the reading level to see other books at the
