Baxter’s Corner award-winning stories feature our signature GoBeyond section. As a child becomes familiar with the books during his/her toddler stages, the puppet and other matching products will reinforce conversations about the value of each story developing a child’s imagination. This group of stories present the values of resilience, compassion, respect, cooperation, and determination which are essential life skills. Baxter’s Corner books are for every child from birth to eight years old. Entertaining, yet purposeful, the books can be used in a multitude of ways.
