Pippi's and Piper's Outdoor Adventure
Children’s e-book supports literacy! Pippi’s and Piper’s Outdoor Adventure by Joyce Shafer. Twins Pippi and Piper don't want to learn another thing over summer vacation. This changes when they meet three unlikely, but likeable new friends. This story is a little instructional, a little practical, a little fantastical, a little interactive, and sure to bring a smile to children ages 4-7. And, you can make a difference: a 40% donation for each purchase goes to the I AM Foundation, a global non-profit organization that supports literacy for children and adults. This 37-page PDF has lots of pictures to enhance associating words with images to build reading skills and a few images for children to color.
