Captain Wilkinson announces release of Brain Burps - an educational & fun children's book.

June 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Jill of all trades, Captain Wilkinson, has turned the tiller to the tide with the release of her first book, Brain Burps ($18.95CAD). This 42-page book is a gale storm of activity, designed for kids aged three to ten, but perfect for adventurous minds of all ages! And this just in: Captain Wilkinson will be on deck at Chapters Queensway, 1950 The Queensway in Etobicoke on Saturday, June 18, 2011, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.,  so you can meet the author in person and pick up a signed copy of Brain Burps.

Brain Burps sparks the child within at every age. Kids and parents alike will giggle with delight as they read the fun and thought-provoking rants and rhymes. Everyone will love singing along with the CD (included with Brain Burps) as they use the sheet music and beginner chords to play the songs with family and friends.

Kids will be delighted to know they can colour in Brain Burps’ pages – and if they run out or want to share, no need to fret; go to the Burp Factory and burp back – print the colouring pages for everyone!

Readers are warned to keep a keen watch for a saucy little Brain Burp called Bb that is playing hide-and-seek in the pages, and to listen carefully to hear him create havoc on the CD!

But Brain Burps  is more than just fun and games. While they read, children will learn to identify shapes, colours, and count from one to ten in five languages – English, French, Spanish, Estonian and Thai. Included in Brain Burps’ pages is a quick index so readers can look in one place for shapes, colours and numbers in all five languages. Plus, this section is exempt from copyright, so teachers can photocopy and distribute it.

A percentage of proceeds from each copy sold goes to cancer research. Purchases can be made online with trusty PayPal at http://brainburps.asia/ .Brain Burps can also be snatched up in person at Fun to Grow On, 1077 North Service Road in Mississauga, and Ella Minnows in the Beaches, 1915 Queen Street East Toronto, or out west at Mosaic Books, 411 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC.
