Online reading club for kids

| | Comments (0)

Woogi World and leading children's publishers, HarperCollins Children's Books, Walden Media and Penguin Books, announced today their joint collaboration to introduce kids to great books through Woogi World's online WoogiReaders Club.

The Club launched Nov. 18 and hopes to be the catalyst to kids falling in love with books and reading.

A basic club membership features an online version of a public domain children's classic (such as "Rikki Tikki Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling). An upgraded club membership for $7.95 a month entitles children to receive age-appropriate popular titles on a monthly basis, provided by the three participating publishers.

The first books offered are "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" by Beverly Cleary (HarperCollins Children's Books), and "The White Giraffe" by Lauren St. John, (Walden Media). Penguin will follow with "The Cat Ate My Gymsuit" by Paula Danziger.

Children will be able to play chapter-oriented games and level up as they "pass off" each chapter of the current month's book.
