Join the Stretch A Book Club

"The Stretch-A-Book Club is an easy way to
"trick" kids into becoming fluent readers!

Hello! My name is Marcia Trimble.

During my 30 year career as an early childhood reading specialist and children's book publisher I've made a couple of important observations...

  • The #1 factor influencing a child’s educational success is an early introduction to books.
  • The best way to get kids reading is to make it fun!
Marcia Trimble, early childhood reading specialist

Over 10 years in the making, my Stretch-A-Book Club is a children's book of the month club that uses drawing, acting, singing and dancing activities to help kids ages 2-10 play their way to reading fluency.

The Stretch-A-Book Club is designed to grow right along with your kids from ages 2-10

Ages 2-3, Toddlers

Ages 2-3 Toddlers enjoy listening to a parent, caregiver, or older sibling read the books to them. They enjoy the digital animations, dancing along to the songs, and doing the coloring and craft activities (with some help).

Ages 4-6, Pre-readers

Ages 4-6 Pre-readers like to read along with the read-along audio track and tell the story they have heard. Pre-readers also enjoy listening to the songs, watching the digital animations, and doing the games and activities (with a little supervision).

Ages 6-8, Independent Readers

Ages 6-8 Independent Readers can read the books, listen to the music, and do the games and activities all by themselves. As they turn reading into acting they interact with others and build self esteem and communication skills.

Ages 8-10, Advanced Readers

Ages 8-10 Advanced Readers can put on full productions of the books for their younger siblings or kids in the neighborhood! Performers start with a book and end with a bow or two. They learn that star power is participating, contributing, and connecting with others.

Liberty Cafe is Open!

Liberty Cafe Is Open! teaches young readers that when one door closes... another one opens!

hardcover book: $15.95 value

If your children like The House That Jack Built, then they'll get a kick out of Liberty Café Is Open! This 12 x 12-inch, 32-page paperback picture book for ages 4-8 centers on the endearing rhyme and repetition of classic jingles like The House that Jack Built or The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.

Teachers, Parents and Grandparents
Love the Stretch-A-Book Club!

 

"Fun and Happy Father's Day"

"My daughter and husband created a fun and happy Father's Day morning with a wonderful shadow puppet play. We were thrilled with this fun, memorable and interactive family activity. It is easy to do your own puppet show, too, with directions and puppets in the book (Peppy's Shadow) as well as the eActivities."

From a Mom

"Singing and Dancing Together"

"We have enjoyed listening to the books and CD's together and dancing with the music. Braden has so much fun with the books. He just read Peppy's Shadow and reminded me that we hadn't made the shadow puppets yet. He also loves the digital animation of Witchy's Turned Around House.

From A Mom

"Learning to Talk... and Read"

"Hunter loves Liberty Cafe Is Open! and asks me to read it with him multiple times a day. My husband and I have it memorized. He helps "read" by finishing each "And everyone is waiting for..." lines. He is learning to talk!"

Two years later...

"We read Liberty Cafe Is Open! all the time. Hunter wanted to have a breakfast party for his birthday party this year because of Alice Ann, so we did, and he loved it!"

From A Mom

"Educational and Beautiful"

"Our daughter reads Liberty Cafe Is Open! with her grandma in the kitchen before baking. I have to say that a book party is a great educational way to celebrate your little one's birthday. The books are very cute, with beautiful illustrations."

From a Mom & Dad

"My Students Enjoy It!"

"My students enjoyed looking for the stone on each page of The Smiling Stone. We then went out and each child found a stone of their own. They all drew a special smile on their own "smiling stone" and left it sitting on their desk."

"My Students Love It"

"Liberty Cafe Is Open! is a truly happy and delightful story to read. The children loved Alice Ann and related to her as if she were their friend. They loved getting a peek into what Alice Ann is doing (in the mini pictures) while everyone else in the story is wondering where she is. You could almost feel the love, anticipation, and concern everyone felt for Alice Ann. My students were eager to get their turn to read aloud and I sincerely appreciate a story with such a positive, family warm feeling."

From An Elementary School Teacher

"These Books Have Brought Sweetness into Our Lives"

"When Victorya was younger she loved turning the pages when the little chimes came on, even though she couldn't read them yet. Now she reads the books to her little sister.

Last night after I tucked the girls into bed and left a small light on in their room (I was babysitting for the night), I came back to check on them a while later and Vicki had Flower Green in her arms. She had been reading it to her sister and had fallen asleep.

These books have brought sweetness into our lives over the years with singing and dancing and reading good stories. My other grandchildren are coming in August and we will be reading and dancing with them too."

From a Grateful Grandmother

 « Add Your Story to the List » 

Stretch-A-Book can help you raise a smart, reflective and confident child that is ready for life.

Besides the joy they will receive from embracing their creativity, there is another (more lasting joy) that Stretch-A-Book is helping kids work toward:

Being ready for real life.

Ideas are the currency of the 21st century. The successful members of your child's generation will be the "idea people" who are able to communicate their cause and build a team around it.

I am confident that Stretch-A-Book can help you give your child the skills they need to be a "thought leader" in the 21st century workforce.
