TumbleBooks -Ebooks for Kids

See your child's favorite books come to life!!

The Westchester Library System has an online reading program for children. TumbleBooks Library is an online library of animated, talking picture books, which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love. TumbleBooks are created by taking existing picture books, adding animation, sound, music and narration to produce an electronic picture book which children can read at their own pace, or have read to them. The TumbleBooks Library is accessed on-line from your computer at home.
