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
