The Read-a-Round, available with red or blue vinyl cushions, gives children a comfortable nook to expand their reading proficiency while building social skills. The two-sided couch has center partitions to keep books close at hand, and provides a beautiful, yet practical, literary center. The set includes the double-sided couch, two semi-circle benches, cushions, six clear tubs and four clear cubbie trays. It comes with a lifetime warranty. The product is “a piece of children’s furniture that provides both elegance and functionality,” Nick Schwarz, director of marketing at Jonti-Craft, told TDmonthly. Launch date: November 1, 2006.
