The Millipede Family series of bed time stories
Start reading bed time stories to your children. Experts agree that reading to your children improves their learning abilities, vocabulary, and in the long run will improve their overall quality of life. Finding good books to read to your children isn't as easy as it seems. Finding a topic that will keep them interested and make them WANT to learn is key. The Millipede Family series of books is designed to address these issues by including words specifically called for in First Grade vocabulary tests.
In "The Bugs that Would Be Ladies", the Millipedes meet some strange new bugs. Join all the Millipede children - Mary, Mickey, Martha, Malcolm, Mark, and even little Millie - as they play in the park and make new friends.

Bedtime Stories as a Learning Tool
Have you tried to get your teenager to read lately? Can you peel them away from their video games long enough? Do your children think of reading as something they HAVE to do for school?
Well let's FIX that!
Child specialists agree that reading to your child at an early age is a key to helping them enjoy books. The more they hear good stories, the more good stories they want. In the age before video, parents used to spend time reading to their children in order to provide them with good quality stories.
Even today, parents that have put aside time to read bedtime stories to their children claim it was the best time they ever spent with their kids.
In the age where we know that brain size is increased by the sheer number of inputs to the child - it's more important than ever to keep presenting different types of material in different formats for your children!
It's also a great thing if you can read stories that relate to family life together, and how much fun it can be! Brothers and sisters getting along and enjoying their time together! Parents teaching and even learning from their children. It's good, especially with younger children, to set an environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. The Millipede series does just that by taking a family of millipedes and recounting their family adventures.
Let your child learn with the Millipede children about learning new things and meeting new people (bugs!). The children that have read these books have called them their Favorites! Even parents reading the books have enjoyed the stories.
"They just make me feel happy", one parent claimed. "To share that feeling with my child is the highlight of my day!"
