Free Earthquake Book

Marie loves books. I love that she loves books. There is a publishing company that makes educational books in math and science for children. We have a lot of the books and there are a couple reasons I love them. Number 1: Marie loves the pictures. Number 2: at the end of the story there are activities and games you can play with your kid to supplement their learning. Number 3: they are fun stories that teach about important subjects.

Marie's favorite book is Newton and Me. She loves it because it has a dog in it. The book is all about a little boy who plays with his dog Newton. Really, the entire book is about Newton's laws of motion and gravity.

My favorite book is Burro's Tortillas. This book is a spanish version of the little red hen. The book is all about cooking tortillas and helping. Part of the book has you whinee like a donkey and so now when Marie hands it to me to read she just whinnees. I think she thinks that is the title of the book. At the end of the story there is the recipe for making Tortillas. A couple weeks ago Marie and I read the book for the millionth time and then went to the store and bought Maseca and then made tortillas for dinner that night. I love the interactive learning in these books.

Anyway, this is kind of a long post to explain that this publishing company has a book all about Earthquakes and explaining Earthquakes to little kids. With what is going on in Japan right now the company has made the book available online for free for a week so that you can teach your children about the earthquake. Below is a link to the website and pictures of Marie with the book.
