Try saying that title really fast three times. Whoa.
It’s Valentine’s Week, and post-birthday week, and throughout this week I’ve got some fun little giveaways planned. They’re all for items that we love, through companies that I love, and hopefully they bless one of you just as much they’ve blessed us.
Today? I am blessed to review and then offer a giveaway for a set of six Imagination Station books produced by Tyndale House and Focus on the Family. Great companies that produce excellent materials. These books? Loved in my house. Read in my house.
I’ve read them aloud to the kids — and it always started with me just going to read one chapter — and ended with somehow me being convinced to read them the entire book. The books are about the adventures of two curious kids, Patrick and Beth, as they get to explore time through a very cool time machine invented by Mr. Whittaker. Yes, Adventures in Odyssey. 🙂
In the first book, they travel back to the land of the Vikings and explore Viking culture and learn about Christian faith. Honestly? That’s my favorite part of this excellent series — the interweaving of history and faith.
Here’s a quote from Tyndale House and Focus on the Family about the books:
Written for early readers, ages 7 and up, the series features the virtual reality device the Imagination Station, which is one of the major plot devices used in the Adventures in Odyssey audio drama series. Nobody knows the inner workings of the mysterious device, invented by Odyssey’s Mr. Whittaker, but with a push of a button, it launches users back in time to experience historical events in-person.
Oh yes, and remember how I told you I was reading them the books? Well, a couple days later I caught Brennan just reading just a little bit {that’s what he told me} of the book again. As a mom who encourages reading this was awesome! We also love the challenges and puzzles at the end of the books that then link with the Imagination Station website.
Here are the SIX books that one of you will win.
Want to win? Super easy — Using Rafflecopter {which I love — makes giveaways easy} simply follow the instructions. Good luck, friends! THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.

I would love to win these books!
They would be for my youngest two boys.
My daughter would love these books! She’s 5, is a beginning reader, and really enjoys adventure stories.
I am ALWAYS looking for wonderful books that my youngest can read (he is 7). He had such a hard time with reading in the beginning and due to a wonderful program at his school, help at home, and help from his 2nd grade teacher he has done a complete turn around. He is now reading at the same level or higher than most of his class. It was amazing to see the change in him! Books are BIG in our home and to be truthful, I was very worried that due to something in him he was not going to feel the same way that we all do, but now, he does. It’s fantastic! =) ~Stephanie
I would love to win these book! They are neat books and we have checked them out at the library before! They would be for my youngest three boys…. martha (at)lclink(dot) com
I would love to win these books for my girls. I am always looking for books to get them into learning!!
I homeschool my four children, ages Cheyla (11), Michael (8), Joshua (5) and Rachael (3), I love anything that helps history come to life for them, and gives them a thirst for reading and learning. These books would be such a blessing to our homeschool!
They would be perfect for reading to my daughter and a friend of hers during the afternoon when the baby is napping.
These would be for my 3 boys 🙂
My oldest is nearly 7yo and just starting to read on his own. He enjoys listening to Adventures in Odyssey stories and I know he’d love these!
How wonderful! I would give these books to our boys! Especially our nine year old son. He would LOVE them!!!! And how cool they they end with puzzles and activities! LOL He would be SO excited!
I had no idea about these books. My daughter would LOVE them. Both my kids, really. They are both big AIO fans, as was I, when AIO originally launched. (Makes me feel old!) 😉
I have 5 boys who would LOVE these books! We listen to AIO every day and we own a ton of the cds.
The boys would be thrilled to have the books also! 🙂
I would LOVE these for my two little ones. They aren’t reading yet, but we LOVE AiO and I’d love to read these to them and save them for when they can read too.
These would be for all four of my kids…. right now, specifically, my 10 year old has read one of them and LOVES them!! She would be so tickled to have a whole set!
These would be for my two girls (10 and 6), but mostly for my 6 year old. They would really love them!

Oh my goodness! I would love to win these for my boys. They would love these books!!
This would be wonderdful for my son, a struggling reader. I think they would help spark some motivation.
I’d primarily use these books with my youngest daughter, but I’m secretly hoping that my eleven-year-old son would read them to her.
LOVE these books! My 3 oldest are all AIO fans, but especially my soon-to-be (next week!) 8 year old voracious reader!

Would give them to my oldest granddaughter…who’s sick right now! She could use the distraction but hopefully she’ll be well before she could get them anyway! ;o)
What comfort we have knowing that the Lord is our Refuge! Praying!
Psalms 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

I think my son would love these books! He’s really ‘into’ adventure and discovery at the moment!
These books would be fantastic for my 3rd grader. He is becoming a wonderfully independent reader – and sometimes it is hard to find quality books that keep his interest. Having the Christian focus is a HUGE bonus!!
they would be for my girls of course!
My 9yr old ds would love these!!
My 8 y/o daughter loves to read, and I’m certain she would love these books!!
These books would be for my four children. We always read to them before bedtime, and this sounds like a great series for that!
What a fantastic giveaway! I would love to have these books. My oldest is reading on his own, and our middle one is starting to read. These would make readers for the oldest, and great read-alouds. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would LOVE to win these for our boys, 7 and 5, who love ADventures in Odyssey so much!
These books would be for my 7 (almost 8) year old brother in law! He loved reading ~ If you ask him what his favorite sport is, he will say it is reading 🙂 I think these books are right up his alley!
the books would be for my son and daughter!!!!
My 12yo son, who’s a reluctant reader unless it’s book like these, would LOVE this set!
These books would be for Emily, Travis, Hannah, Natalie,Abigail, Benjamin, Sarah, and Lily Anne! 🙂
These books would be for our family. We love Adventures in Odyssey!
My 4 younger kids would LOVE these books. We’ve been listening to Adventures in Odyssey since they were first created (probably 25 years). And, I haven’t heard of this book series. So cool!
I would love to win these books for my five boys at home. All but the baby often have to be told to put the book down and turn out the lights at bedtime!
