All of Animalations’ books are designed to develop language and create multi-sensory stimulation of the brain by combining language, music, and movement. This delightful pairing of a picture book with an original song on an audio CD, with the rhyming words found in the book, stimulates the brain and develops reading/language skills.

Animalations’ books are beloved by children, parents and educators because of this unique combination. Animalations’ books also include a musical score, science notes and parent/teacher notes.
