TumbleBooks are created from existing picture books which we have licensed from children's book publishers and converted to the TumbleBook format. You may want to explore the site by check ing 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 or on the cover of the book. There are a number ways you can access a book: Add your favorite title(s) to the **My Favorites** section for easy access any time. This feature is cookied onto individual computers. 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  mode, the narration is turned off and users turn the pages at their own speed. This feature allows you to click on a book to hear a sentence repeated, or click on a vocabulary word in order to hear it pronounced. Students can create their own book reports after reading a book. You may fill out the online form or print it out. Each title has an accompanying TumbleQuiz: a fun, flash-animated, multiple-choice quiz that each student can take online after reading a book to test their reading comprehension. The TumblePuzzles and TumbleGames are great educational tools. Our Language Learning section has a growing collection of books in Spanish and French. Our drop down menu on the top right hand corner of the site allows you to view the entire site in Spanish  or French.  Your students and staff members can now send TumbleCards and TumbleBooks to friends and family through our TumbleMailer feature.
