New Project for MMSC's Let's Turn The Page Project
|
 Remember who taught you to tie your shoes?
The Let's Turn The Page Project is MMSC's unique audio recording (CD) of the best of children's literature, read by members of MMSC's professional Readers Theatre Group.
We are at work on a brand new project - an audio package of Tie Your Shoes! by Carolyn Watson Dubisch. Just in time for holiday gift-giving.
The package will contain an audio CD of this fun rhyming book, a pair of special shoelaces, original music, and sound effects, plus a copy of the original
book, so the child can read along and participate when the recorded
voice says: "Let's Turn The Page." AND a special "ACHIEVEMENT Certificate" that can be
personalized for your child once he or she has learned this important skill. All for $10, plus tax and shipping.
Wondering what to get that special 3 - 7 year old this holiday season? Look no further. Send us an e-mail and we will place your name on the list for advance copies. (Publication date: November 15, 2007)
Order your copy now.
