Quotes From Parents And Educators:

"The Quirkles® science lessons give my students a “hands on” experience of key vocabulary words and scientific concepts using phonics, colorful story lines, and fun experiments. Each story also has a social skill lesson weaved into the story line through 26 positive engaging characters. The illustrations and colors in the stories spark their creativity when coloring the Black Line Masters when I first introduce the characters. One of my students asks for copies to color for each member of his family to take home for a night of coloring and talking to them about the Quirkles.

Parents acknowledge this transfer of knowledge, vocabulary, and scientific concepts in their homes and in other contexts. One father said to me in exasperation “he even knows what it means.” My students talk often to their families about the characters and science experiments that are learned in my classroom. This enhances their learning in many subject areas at school and home.

At my last yearly assessment by my administrator I was observed teaching a Quirkles science lesson. The children were engaged, excited, and fully participating. One of my Cerebral Palsy students was literally squealing with delight at the science experiment results that day. The students got it and fully understood the concepts being taught. My administrator was pleased and astonished by the reactions and excitement of my students about the Quirkles®. Additionally, I received the best assessment score in my professional career thus far and my 5th graders did exceptionally well on their state science test taken in the spring. This was a win-win bonus and acknowledgement for all of us!

My students are motivated and passionate about the Quirkles®. They look at the poster with the various characters and request which one that they would like to learn next. Their excitement is contagious and they can not wait to learn about another character and science concept. My class consists of students in all grades of elementary school. The Quirkles® has helped me to meet my students’ individual science needs and enrich their scientific knowledge as a whole class also. The Quirkles® have a truly unique and exciting way of teaching student’s using hands on activities through fun-filled literacy, phonics, and real life science. Thank you for fostering my students' love of science in the classroom and home through the Quirkles®." —Susan Bundy, Royse City, Texas

"I am impressed with my young scientists' absorption into the world of The Quirkles. They love the unity of alliteration, science, vivid colors and story. We enjoy practicing our questioning, hypothesizing, experimenting and concluding. The sample activities are easy-to-follow and are kid-friendly while supporting fabulous concepts. By the middle of the series, the students are independently hypothesizing the name of the next Quirkle and the science that may accompany that character using the alliteration trick. Thank you so much for putting this "out there." My students and I LOVE it!" —Jennifer Fruend, Rohan Woods School, St. Louis, Missouri

"I wanted you to know how much the children at Isabel’s House have loved The Quirkles. I have been over there reading to them, and they are only interested in The Quirkles books. It is so fascinating how they are drawn to them. (even the very young children) What a wonderful gift to so many children!" —Alison Miller, Isabel’s House, Springfield, Missouri

"I just returned from Frog Street's Summer Splash and had a great time...loved your presentation. My principal just bought the Quirkles for us to use in the upcoming school year. The package arrived the last week of school and I have spent the last few weeks looking through everything! I can hardly wait to start using it in my Pre-K classroom. Thanks for a wonderful product!" —Darla Jordan, Kidwell Elementary, Iowa Park, Texas

"I wanted to tell you how much the books have meant to us in China. My kids love the books and we constantly come back to the books to read them again and again.... We keep them in a magazine rack next to our couch so our kids can read them whenever they want. We are not able to find good books in English here in China, so these have been very important to our family." —Philip Wittkorn, Dalian, China

"WE LOVE THE QUIRKLES! The stories and experiments are a perfect fit for Kindergarten, and as you advertise, integrate science and literacy beautifully! I am happily amazed at how easily they fit into what we are already doing in the classroom and how much the children like them!" —Melissa Bosso, Kindergarten Instructor, Saint Agnes Catholic School

"The Quirkles have really stimulated a love of science in Ben. He was even more excited about his science set than most of his toys at Christmas. Whenever it is a father/son evening with Ben, he always wants to do an experiment, either of my design, a Quirkles book, or something he has come up with on his own. Thank you once again!" —Jason Walworth, 7-9 Science Instructor, Reeds Spring R-IV School District

"I love the Quirkles and my son Zane does too! We’ve read them at least six times, all of them. I love the artwork! It makes me feel like I’m in another world. We’ve also done a few of the experiments and had fun with those too. Zane said he likes Watery William and he can already read the books by himself!" —Therese, Valley Center, CA

"Sarah received so many Christmas presents this year that I hid the Quirkles until later. Well, later came yesterday when she found them in my hiding place. She got so excited over her “letter books” that she spread them in a line across her bedroom floor. I got fussed when I bumped one out of line. She wanted to read them all before bed. I read three last night and three this morning—she still couldn’t get enough. She is totally enthralled with the books. She’s already pointing out the letters we’ve read when she sees them. This amazes me because she just turned three and she and her peers only know the alphabet song and recognize the first letters in their name. She wants me to explain the experiments as we read them. She’s especially looking forward to making her own ice cream this weekend. I’m planning on hanging the poster of all the Quirkles in her room, too. I’m really impressed with the Quirkles product—and so is Sarah!" —Christina

“I am a doctor of pharmacy and it took me until pharmacy school to understand how I learned new information. Abstract concepts are very difficult for me. But, I suffered through it. I saw your books and knew IMMEDIATELY that I had to get my 5 and 6 year old a set. I think you hit the jackpot! Thanks for saving my kids from the anguish I went through.”

“While I was in the Children’s Department [of the public library], a mother stood up and gave a glowing testimonial to the series of books. Her eight-year old has enjoyed the series so much she is having fun going through the series with her four-year old brother.”

“What a great project! The Quirkles look like a strong addition to the world of fun science education. I especially love your branding—so often things related to science have that hard, scary look to them.” —Mary

“The illustrations are marvelous; the text is so catching. You guys have really outdone yourself.” —Teresa

“I have to tell you, my kids are so into the Quirkles. We read them every night!”

“It is obvious how much work went into the Quirkles.”

“What a great concept! Thank you, as both a science teacher and a parent of a 3 1/2 year old!”

And Others...

“Outstanding!”

“Way cool!”

“These look adorable!”

“What a wonderful way to learn!”

“I love what I see so far!”
