The holidays are here! Children wait with excitement for their holiday gifts.

Some great presents for children are Soundprints Smithsonian Institution’s ‘Let’s Go to the Zoo’ board book and stuffed toy series for children, 18 months to 3 year olds, including the titles Panda’s Busy Day, Rhinoceros’ Bath time, and Flamingo Grows Up all at $9.95 each, board books only for $5.95 each; and the Smithsonian Wildlife story and stuffed toy series for older children that includes: Armadillo at Riverside Road, Bullfrog at Magnolia Circle, Bumblebee at Apple Tree Lane, Coral Reef Hideaway, Dolphin’s First Day, Lobster’s Secret, Mallard Duck at Meadowview Pond, Box Turtle at Silver Pond Lane, and Sea Turtle Journey at $9.95 each, small hardcover books only, at $4.95 each. In a larger format are Along the Luangwa and Mountain Mists, featuring a crocodile and a gorilla, at $16.95 each, large paperbacks only, at $5.95 each.

All these books are well illustrated in color with informative texts and the plush toys are quite realistic. The ‘Let’s Go to the Zoo’ board books contain photographs with simple text. Each smaller Wildlife story and stuffed toy book presents a day in the life of the animal and gives a small dictionary-like entry about the animal in the back of the book accompanied by full page color illustrations. The larger paperback books have larger full-page color illustrations with text in the middle, and picture and text glossaries in the back as well as dictionary-like entries for regions and animals discussed.

Besides these wonderful gifts there are holiday greeting cards, music and other gift items available for purchase at Logos. In addition there are some book groups that meet at Logos. Starting on Wednesday, November 27 from 7 to 8:30 P.M., continuing on Wednesday, December 11, 2002 and restarting in 2003 on Wednesday, January 15 at the same time, Logos Bookstore will be hosting a study and discussion of Augustine’s City Of God.
