In Short, The Most Successful Game-books
Stimulating creativity, curiosity and imagination in children is essential for good growth and development. One of the best tools for this is to use children’s books, since in them children will be able to enjoy fantastic stories with which their mind will travel to the site itself, as well as their curiosity to move through the pages.
As we have said on other occasions, within children’s literature there are several different types of books. In this way, all children have the possibility to choose the one they like the most or attract attention.
However, the book-games that we are going to talk about next are a new tool that has been very well received by children, and this is indicated by the more than 40 million copies sold around the world.
In short, an infinite world of fun and learning
What began as a small collection of six books, is now one of the best-selling in the world. These first six books were divided into two sections: Mini Abremente and Abremente . In Mini Abremente we can find these three types of books:
- For 4 and 5 years. With 150 questions.
- For ages 5 and 6, also with 150 questions.
In Briefly , we can find the following:
- For ages 6 and 7, which includes 250 questions.
- 7 and 8 years old, with 300 questions.
- 8 and 9 years, 400 questions.
- 9 and 10 years also with 400.
The format of these book-games, even before starting them, will seem attractive and fun for children, since it is not usual to see books in a fan format. The game consists of a series of questions and answers. In this way, the child must maintain attention, concentration, as well as perception, very important aspects in childhood.
Each of the books has a different style of questions, so none is the same as the previous one. Different answers, true or false answers, as well as answers with pictures or riddles are some of them.
Another aspect that has led to the success of this game is the diversity of topics it deals with : history, geography, languages, sports, language or mathematics, among many others.
An ever-expanding collection
These six book-games that we have talked about previously were so well received by children that the publisher Catapulta decided to expand its collection. In this way, at present, we can also find Abrementes for children of 2 and 3 years, as well as 10 to 11 and 11 to 12 years.
However, the breadth of the collection does not stop there, since book-slates have also been included so that the little ones can learn shapes, graphics, upper and lower case letters or numbers, among others.
