Pretendables, a unique book and toy set combining a book, CD-ROM, toy and costume in a single package, has been recognized by two leading parenting magazines and has been awarded nine Preferred Choice Awards by Creative Child, a publication focused on nurturing creativity in children.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 9, 2005 -- The Pretendables graces the
editorial pages of the February issue of Parenting and appears in the winter
issues of Family Digest and Creative Child. The Pretendables received its
Preferred Choice Awards from Creative Child in the “Pretend and Dress-Up”
category. Pretendables titles receiving recognition from the publication
are:
- Freddy & Fiona: Firefighter

Officer

-
Michael & Maggie Make Believe: Magic

The Pretendables is based on the premise, “you are
what you read.” The innovative series invites children ages 3-6 to enjoy the
story in the book, dress up in the enclosed apparel, role play with the toys and
interact with their parents or friends. In this warm and wonderful way,
Pretendables introduces them to exciting careers and adventures--from
Professional to Public Service, Explorer to Sports Figure. Careers are explained
and demonstrated by unique characters featured in each book and its
corresponding CD-ROM. Pretendables’ carefully selected components and sweet
story themes inspire a child’s most precious gift – imagination—while at the
same time encouraging a love of reading.
“We are thrilled and honored
that Pretendables has been recognized by these prestigious publications,” said
Steven Fink, president of M.O.G. Kids, an exciting new children's educational
product development company, and creator of the Pretendables.
