Levy, co-developer of BrainBolt memory building games (a Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award Winner) and author of The Toy and Game Inventor's Handbook "This book brilliantly turns storytelling into a game, which is right up my alley.

Kids won't even realize they're building critical thinking and memory skills as they laugh and look for clues alongside Farmer Jay." --David L. Hoyt, "The Man Who Puzzles the World" "What's New? books draw young children into an engaging storyline while fostering a meaningful connection with the person reading to them. This charming debut delights with surprises on every page, quietly building vocabulary and early storytelling skills along the way." --Lisa Guili, educational toy & game expert and leader of the team behind Kanoodle, BrainBolt, and other bestselling learning toys for kids " What's New? Mystery at Huckleberry Farm is a fun story for young children with a twist of mystery.
As children notice something new on each page, they are strengthening critical thinking skills and stimulating curiosity and memory retention." --Menucha Goldstein, director of education, Yaldaynu Preschool, New York City "Learning to notice details is a critical skill for early learners. This book allows the youngest readers to hone working memory and take time to look, in a fast-moving world." --Rebecca Melendrez, M. Ed., certified New York City school counselor "On what seems to be an ordinary morning on Huckleberry Farm, Farmer Jay is met with multiple mysteries. This engaging story works well as a read-aloud, as it invites little listeners to observe, detect, and build language skills as they guess the visual clues." --Lisa Lesnick, Mommy & Me instructor and published children's book author.
