Peek-A-Book™ School Edition
A Highsmith Exclusive!
Bring this interactive book previewing system into the library and watch your circulation soar!
Similar to movie trailers that pique interest in upcoming films, Peek-A-Book provides book "previews" designed to get kids scrambling for the checkout counter!
Just load the user-friendly software onto your computer and let students point and click their way through engaging previews hosted by Billy the Bookworm and his cast of puppet pals.
Captivating narration, fun sound effects and actual images from the books get kids engrossed in the story. Each preview ends with a cliffhanger that encourages kids to check out the corresponding book if they want to know what happens next.
Over 175 popular and award-winning titles are currently available, and the list continues to grow. (Click below to view a complete list of titles.)
Along with the book previews, the Peek-A-Book system provides six highly motivating library skills videos:
- Fiction vs. Nonfiction
- What is a Reference Book?
- Hardcover vs. Paperback
- How Children's Books are Shelved
- What is an Author?
- Find a Book by Title, Author and Subject
