Our First Hidden Picture Coloring Page is Here!

Good day, Zebee here. Sorry this is SO late. My boss Joy’s internet connection went down all morning.

Today we have a brand new puzzle page to share. This is one of those “find the hidden pictures” coloring pages. It’s my boss Joy’s first attempt at this kind of activity page. Why don’t you try it and let us know if she did a good job. You can find it over at the puzzle page at Laughing Zebra - Books for Children. While you're there, have fun with all the other puzzles and free activities.

Have fun! See you Thursday.

Zebee's Summer Zoo Camp!

Hi everyone, Zebee here. Don't you just love the logo for our (my) summer camp? Personally I think it's a great likeness of me. Anyway, I over heard Rebekha and my boss Joy talking about the summer camp and thought I'd share.

Each week a different animal that we have here at the V Zoo will be highlighted. There will be:

* games
* trivia
* crafts
* and more

We also are going to have some prizes. How can you win?
*One way is through comments. Each comment counts as one chance to win. Post a comment each week and that gives you 8 chances.
*Another way, share this blog with your friends. When they sign up for our FREE virtual summer camp and list you as the person who shared it with them, that's another chance to win. Get all your friends to join you and have even more fun with me and the rest of the gang.

What are the prizes? Copies of our book, "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa" among other zoo realted things. The full list will be posted before the camp begins.

So, how do you sign up? For now you can leave a comment. Joy will be putting up a special page over at Laughing Zebra – Books for Children in the next week. I'll let you know when she's got it up.

So, sign up today and go tell all your friends. I'll see you back here Thursday with another great book review. Bye for now!

Tour Laughing Zebra - Books for Children

Hi everybody in Bloggerville! Zebee here.

Let's take a tour!

Hop on over to Laughing Zebra - Books for Children. Here you'll find all kinds of things that take my book, "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa" beyond reading.
I believe that children learn better if they get the message delivered in a variety of ways. Reading is wonderful, don't get me wrong, I just believe we can add to books to make the learning process even more fun.

What child doesn't like coloring pages? We have several to choose from. We also have an email link that children can send their pictures to us and we'll post them right there for all their friends to see.

Puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles. I love puzzles of all types, don't you? Here we have jigsaw puzzles, a maze, even a memory game you can print out and play.

Crafts are an all time favorite. We have several so far to choose from. There are two kinds puppets and a mask. I love crafts, so look for more in the coming months.

We even have recipes that can go along with "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa." Have you ever thought about what an okapi eats? What do they like that we humans like? Carrots! Since the story is about a birthday party, we have a few carrot cake recipes for you to bake and enjoy.

Who out there likes word games? I sure do, so we have a page dedicated just to them. Right now we have a word search and flash cards in English and Spanish. I know I'll be adding more here soon.

Of course, what would a publisher's site be with out a bookstore. Here we have our books for sale at 20% off plus free shipping. Oh, and they will be autographed by the author, illustrator and translator.

Since our books come with teacher's guides, we have a page just for teachers. I have plans for this page to include links to other sites that help teachers in all they do.

Want to see what's going on behind the sceens with Laughing Zebra - Books for Children? Check out our media page. There you'll see reviews, video clips, interviews and more.

You can also subscribe to our newsletter. You'll find a box to sign up os every page. If you find a page that doesn't have it, please let me know.

New Coloring Page

Good morning all my Bloggerville fans. Zebee here.

Today I have a new coloring page to share with you.

Go over to Laughing Zebra – Books for Children page and print out this new page. Do you know how many candles are going to be on YOUR next birthday cake? I bet you do.

After you’ve colored your birthday cake and the right number of candles, have your mom or dad help you email a copy of it to this link and my boss Joy will share it here.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have fun with our new coloring page.

See you Thursday with a book that will bring back memories to your parents and you of course.
