Fobie Friends has come out with iPad apps that help a young child face and overcome a certain fear or phobia -- whether it is a fear of the dark, fear of heights or fear of climbing. Fobie Friends is the first series of books to address childhood fears that entertain, but inform in a non-clinical setting. Narrated by the author, the ebook allows a child to read and bounce along to its perfect rhyme and rhythm. When children have a lack of structure, phobias become more produced. Young kids often have fears of the dark, being alone, strangers, and monsters or other scary imaginary creatures. As they grow and learn, with the support of adults, most are able to overcome these fears. Yet, some kids are more sensitive to fears and may have a tough time overcoming them. The eBook features: Both English and Spanish; Easy to memorize “fear cheer” at the end of each book; Gorillas and chinchillas dance, tigers growl, flowers bloom...EVEN watch a gorilla teach YOGA!; Use your own voice to record the story; Simple to follow, highlighted text; 3D; Character puzzles; Printable painting pages with email option.

The CATERPILLAR Multi terrain loader is truly multi-functional. Powerful, flexible and mobile: it is the number one choice for any small area. The functions of the CAT Multi terrain loader are comparable to those of the CATERPILLAR compact loader, but the Multi terrain loader has a rubber-chain drive, creating a much lower ground pressure. It is great fun seeing how precisely the chains work while you move the CAT Multi terrain loader over all types of surface, particularly when playing. The movable arm of the CAT Multi terrain loader can be locked in many positions and reach particularly high thanks to its special construction. An adaptor for at-tachments already used on several BRUDER vehicles allows the CATERPILLAR Multi terrain loader and its attached equipment to master all types of work in no time.
