Tumble Books are a great resource of online talking books, puzzles, videos and more for kids. If you have a library card, you have access to this great resource!

Screen Shot 2013-12-16 at 5.37.40 PMTumble books are mainly focused on early readers, but I noticed some educational video titles that would be suitable for kids a bit older too. Fun videos on Barcelona, Benjamin Franklin, and many more.

The Tumble Books are talking books, but the books have also been transformed to be a bit interactive so they are more engaging to kids. I found myself mesmerized by a few of my kids’ favorites.

To get to Tumble Books:

1. Go to the Boulder Public Library Youth Section

2. Click on the Tumble Books Link

4. Now search for the titles you like or browse for one that your child will enjoy… It’s really easy! No wait lists. Just click and go.
