“The Thrift Store Bears”is a color illustrated book of rhyming stories about teddy bears that have been rescued from thrift stores. The books are written for children of five to nine years of age but appeal to children of all ages, including adults who love teddy bears. Each poem describes the ups and downs, the joys, hopes and adventures of bears. Although the bears come in many sizes and colors, they have one big thing in common: they were all rescued from thrift stores. Lively music and narration accompanies each poem. This is Volume 5 of 6.

“I think we have to have fun if we’re going to engage kids, but once they’re engaged….this (MobiStories) was reading, this was listening, this is readiness. It’s perfect, too, because it’s one on one and when we think of individualizing, that’s what this does. It’s a personal individualizer. It engages kids in the reading process. It’s good for the learning strategies for reading. I think it’s great.”

Laura M. Viel, professor of elementary education and gifted education teacher

Did you know that reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents? (Carnegie Corporation) The great thing about MobiStories online digital children’s picture books is that they’re there for you when you’re unable to read to the kids yourself!

The best part is that pretty much any MobiStory can be viewed by children of any age 2 – 8, as the kids don’t have to be of reading age to enjoy the stories with sound effects and music. They’re starting to recognize the words that appear on the page as they’re being read to.

Enjoy listening to your digital picture books or simply turn the sound off and read along with the easy to follow text.
