Getting a child's attention is hard enough, but holding it is the real challenge. My First Britannica succeeds. This exciting series takes young readers to the farthest reaches of the Solar System, to every corner of the globe, back to the ancient myths of Greece and Rome, and inside the circuitry of the walls in their homes. Organized by themes like space and animals, packed with color photographs and specially commissioned illustrations, varied in article types from poems to biographies, and written at the appropriate level, this stimulating reference set for ages 7-11 will build the foundation of a lifelong journey of learning.
Special features including fun facts, quiz questions, and references to related topics draw readers into the subjects, while making homework fun and helping parents instill the habit of "looking it up". Created for children across the globe, My First Britannica is universal in perspective and provides a true cross-cultural view of the world.
When a young lion cub, Simba, loses his father, he is forced to flee by his nefarious uncle. He finds unlikely friends in Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog.

Readers can relive the adventure with this storybook and read-along CD featuring the original character voices and exciting sounds effects from the award;winning feature film! Plus the popular song, "I Just Can't Wait to be King."
This is one of those blessed videos for babies, toddlers, and children that wholly entertains the youngsters, but is mercifully easy upon repetition (which it was indeed designed for) for parents and caregivers. So Smart! A Learning Video for Babies is just that. With an emphasis on moving, familiar shapes that evolve into perfect first-word, first-identified objects, a child will comprehend and learn. The soundtrack features beautifully produced classical music. SMALLER WMV VERSION by Pumukl
