PRIME TIME® Book Titles

Each PRIME TIME® program features award-winning children’s books grouped by theme. There are currently four English-only series and three bilingual (Spanish/English) series each of which incorporates culturally diverse titles. They span fairy tales and folk tales from around the world, stories about problems most individuals encounter, and tales from history.
