Zoobooks: An animal lover's dream


I remember back when I was teaching first and second graders they loved the Zoobooks that I had in my classroom. The kids would look at them and look at them until they were falling apart. I was surprised to see they still have them now. I couldn't resist checking them out for my grandchildren.


Each one is about a different animal. It tells about the animal like its size, what it eats, how fast it is and lots of little other facts. They are very colorful and have a lot of information in them. There are a lot of illustrations with explanations that make the facts understandable. It brings it down to the kids level.




Some of them have posters in the centerfold that you can pull out to hang on your wall. They are full color photographs.



Some of them have stickers in them also. What kids don't like stickers! I know my kids did and so do my grandchildren.




Each one has activities in it too. There are word searches, crosswords, mazes, things to color, and lots of other things. Some of these might be above your child's level of learning but that won't take away from the rest of the magazine.




There are different level subscriptions for different age groups. The Zoobooks are for ages 6-12. My grandson is 5 and he will really like them. I am sure the activities will be too difficult for him though.


I would have loved these when I was little. My students loved them. Then I got to use them with my own children. Now, I am fortunate enough to see my grandkids learning from them. My one grandson is really going to love these. And I am sure he will remember the facts in the Zoobooks too. He takes it all in like a sponge.

If you are looking for a gift for your animal lover child, this would be a great gift that they can use for a long time.

My grandson loves these! I love to see him doing something creative instead of electronics. I like that they have a bag to put them in to store. This way they won't get lost in the toy box. This grandma is very happy with these.

Vastar AG57 Professional Breathalyzer with Semi-conductor Sensor and LCD Display Digital Breath Alcohol Tester with 11 Mouthpieces Fits

My daughter is a nurse and it is very important that she never gets a DUI. So I got this for her and her friends. This weekend she was at a Halloween party and when they left she used this to be sure she was ok to drive which she was. One of her friends that was going to drive was not and would have driven home if it wasn't for this telling her not to. I highly recommend one of these if you ever drink and drive home.

UCEC 6 Colorful Decorative Paper Edge Scissor Set, Great for Teachers, Crafts, Scrapbooking, Kids Design

These are some cool scissors that cut the edges of your paper in fancy ways. They are great for cards and paper frames.
My grandkids are going to love using these to craft away. They love to do things with paper and this will give them hours of fun. I would have loved these when I was a kid. They aren't fancy but the price is right.

Electric Air Fryer, Blusmart Power Air Frying Technology with Temperature and Time Control LED Display 3.4Qt/3.2L 1400W Fry Basket & Recipe Book

I have wanted to get an airfryer for a while now. Finally I decided to get this one. I thought it was going to be complicated but it was actually very easy from the start! It comes with a recipe book to get you started. I find there are lots of tips and recipes online if you just google.
The buttons are very easy to figure out. You can set the temperature on one side and the number of minutes on the other. Just preheat it and then put the food in and watch it crisp up.
This will be great in the summer to bake stuff and not have to heat up the whole kitchen.
I made fries from the frozen ones. They came out great. I also did egg rolls. They tasted crip and really good. I am so excited to make lots of go crisp food.
I recommend this if you have been sitting on the fence about getting one.

I make my pumpkin pie in the blender as my recipe says but my old blender hardly held it and would spill a little. This one had room to spare. And it is powerful. I think I will be using this a lot. It works great on my smoothies with frozen fruit and strawberry shakes too.

We needed chargers for our new phones. This works great as well as the other one I got from them. I love that you can just set the phone on it and it starts. Then if the phone rings you can just pick it up.

Mandoline Slicer with Container

Mandoline Slicer with Container

I had a different mandoline but it didn't have all that this one does. I like that this one has a container for the food to go into. Also, I like that it has the wavy cutter. My old one didn't have those. So much easier than a knife. It works great.

I got this so I would know when I was getting a call without “looking” at my phone. It does that well. What I need is one I hook up to my daughters in the next room wh n she is supposed to be sleeping. Then I could really know what was happening, Just joking,

Vacuum Water Bottle Double Wall Insulated Stainless Steel Leak Proof

Vacuum Water Bottle Double Wall Insulated Stainless Steel Leak Proof

This is a cool looking bottle. The red color is very vibrant. I wish it was a little larger but I know that when I bought it. It holds just over a can of pop if that helps. I used to think these bottles were a gimmick and then found that they really do keep things cold. I love taking this in the van whenever I go somewhere. The little handle is neat too for being able to hold it. And it comes in a nice package too.

I got this selfie stick so that I could have a tripod to hold my camera when I need it. This works great for that. I put my iphone 5s in it and it fits perfectly. I am sure my grandkids will use it as a selfie stick too. I have not tried to see if the bluetooth works with my phone. It isn't supposed to but sometimes it still does.
