Forty years of “sparking curiosity.”
Penworthy started by binding books tough enough for the library — the ones kids check out, drag around, and beg to renew. Today we pack that same idea into complete learning kits for homeschoolers, classrooms, and enrichment programs.
We learned from the toughest readers there are.
For four decades, librarians have trusted Penworthy to provide high interest books for kids to build creative thinking skills and explore the unknown.
Kits came next: Built to last, these high-quality educational materials are designed to support hands-on learning and skill development. Packed in a high-quality tote bag, each themed enrichment kit is designed for multiple uses and easy storage.
Four rules we build every kit by
They’re why librarians trusted us first — and why families keep using the kits.
Every kit starts with a hard-cover title worth re-reading. The activities orbit the book — not the other way around.
Kids learn by touching, building, and exploring. We pack the pieces that turn an idea into an exploration.
Sturdy manipulatives, multi-sensory exploration, high-interest books, wipe-clean totes — made to survive lots of little hands.
From pre-K to high school to learners with special needs, curiosity does not have a limit.
