Lerner Publishing Group Announces Bumba Books™, a New Brand Featuring Photo-Illustrated Nonfiction for Emergent Readers

MINNEAPOLIS--()--This fall, open up the world of nonfiction for emergent readers with Lerner Publishing Group’s new Bumba Books™ brand! Seven engaging new series feature eye-catching photographs, intriguing topics, easy-to-read text, simple charts and diagrams, and attractive design. Each of the 42 new titles also includes age-appropriate critical thinking questions and a photo glossary to help kids build nonfiction reading skills.

Bumba Books are colorful, engaging books that appeal to new readers and their inherent interest in learning about the world,” says Ashley Kuehl, editorial director of Lerner Publications, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group. “As part of our commitment to building strong foundations for literacy and learning, we’ve also included age-appropriate critical thinking questions in each book. These are designed to help readers engage with the information on the page and to also practice thinking critically beyond it.”
