TikaTok Publishing for Kids Under 13

May 13, 2009

Last Wednesday, We posted about how Blurb.com allows you to upload your blog content and publish a book from it. Today I thought I’d feature another online publisher… Tikatok™.

TikaTok was begun by two mothers with the goal of encouraging their children as well as children everywhere to channel their imaginations and creativity into stories that then can be published and shared with friends and family.

I absolutely love the concept as well as how the concept is working in the TikaTok community. Children make relationships and associations of ideas that grown-ups with our practical rational minds (if you drop something gravity will difinitely cause it fall) would never come up with.

Of the books I’ve previewed on the site, I’d say The Great Puddin’ Tater , a story about a Siamese Kitten who turns into a superhero at night, is my current favorite. I mean really, how do you beat a superhero kitten.
