“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 4 of 6.

“With such a digital world being prominent in our children’s lives, it is sometimes difficult to have them stop a minute to read a book. My husband and I have had story time before bed with our little ones since they were born. However, I have noticed that my little guy enjoys the computer and technology, so MobiStories seems like the perfect solution to this dilemma.”
Brittany, author of Slick and Savvy

“Kids love to be on the computer. Here is a great way for them to do something educational. They can enjoy a virtual book. Since reading is a very important skill for a child to learn here is way a child can enjoy reading a book but on a screen. I downloaded a book for my 2 year old over the weekend and she loved it.”
Maria, author of Thrifty Ways and Ideas

“I’ve got to tell you this is an awesome idea! What I liked about Mobistories is that, rather than just presenting another movie format, it looks like you are reading a book. They start with a front cover and end with a back cover. The “pages” are turned, so it looks like reading a book. The words are printed, as well as read aloud. This re-enforces the words for the child who is reading along.”
Julie, author of Mom 2 Ways
