As a Mom and author – I am a big fan of reading. However, I’m finding with the digital age my kids look for engagement beyond the printed page. Especially with my son – who wants engagement – and Mommy – both together at reading time. Imaginary Friends is for families – like mine – who like to use reading time as family time…
Imaginary Friends is a “Family Adventure” that ships a story to your house with printed chapters and an activity kit. Parents log into the website and bring the story to life by triggering interactive activities designed to coincide with the story. There are games and scavenger hunts and little moments to connect with your children once they start to become independent readers.
A LOOK AT IMAGINARY FRIENDS BOOKS…
The printed chapter books of Imaginary Friends are kid-sized (read: perfect to pop in your backpack). They marry a chapter book adventure with cartoons which draw in a kid’s imagination.
The book takes you to a game. The game takes you to the next chapter. It’s levels upon levels of boredom busters!

I like that Imaginary Friends is an inside and outside activity. The screen time portion of Imaginary Friends is complimentary to reading the books (it’s not just “I’m bored – let me go on the tablet” time). And the “games” portion is not just screen. Kids have to go outside (yes, outside) and do scavenger hunts (which, in my opinion, is a great life skill development tool of learning how to read a map and make decisions). It isn’t just reading time but can be turned into family time with one connected activity which spans through siblings and age levels (and yes, parents are included too).
That sounds like such a sweet story. My nieces would love this.
Awe, this sounds super cute. My little one is all about imaginary friends and has a big imagination.
When I was little, I loved interactive things such as this. Also, what a neat fort! I love the added lights!
This is so sweet 🙂 I love it. and that fort is great!
This looks so cool! What a great kit!
My kids love fun new books. And Imaginary friends looks like one they would really enjoy.
Interactive apps like this are so much fun for the kids. It’s a great way to keep them interested, too!
What a fun series. Sounds like it includes enough to keep the kids happy and have fun. My kids love books like this. Thanks for sharing…
Oh how super cute! I love interactive products for kids!
Having an interactive story for the kids would be awesome. It’s so cool how the story leads into games which lead to the next chapter!
This is such a great idea. Imaginary Friends would be such a fun family adventure. I will share this with my friends with little ones.
Imaginary Friends sounds like a great way to spend time together as a family. My kids would have loved this when they were younger.
My seven year old loves reading. I think she would really enjoy this.
That looks like soo much fun! What an awesome way to keep your kids engaged and reading.
Sounds like a really nice story! I love the fort!
This sounds like so much fun!! I had not heard of this before, I think my kids would enjoy it.
How fun, I love the idea of reading a story and also having activities to do with the family around the book!
I’m trying to be better this summer at making my kids read. They don’t really like it, and I don’t know why. I love to read when I have free time.
We love this series. My daughter has it and it helps her a lot with reading
what an awesome concept! i know my oldest would really enjoy this as reading is her favorite activity!
This sounds like an amazing story. i also like that it is very interactive.

I love that this is interactive and makes them get away from the screen and get outside. Very cute and I’m sure kids love it!
I’d say that would be fun to do with the kids. I swear they are growing up so fast and I bet they would love this series
