Silver Dolphin goes above and beyond your ordinary book. They publish activity, novelty, and educational nonfiction books for preschoolers to 12-year-olds. They've received numerous awards and it's no surprise why. Silver Dolphin takes reading and learning to a whole new level.
I think there are many benefits to reading books and I highly encourage my children to read. What I particularly like about Silver Dolphin Books is that they are interactive. Not only do children read and learn, they also get to be hands-on. 
My children received two books to review. One of the books was Uncover A Frog by Aimee Bakkan. The kids learned A LOT of facts about frogs and were able to view a 3D layered model of a frog. The model demonstrated the hidden workings of a frog's body. All six of the children were amazed at how real the model looked and spent a long time learning so many new things about frogs. 
The other book reviewed was Fine Art Studio Drawing by Jim Bradrick. My 10-year-old son was particularly interested in this one. He loves to draw, but this brought out a whole new dimension for him. The kit came with a complete set of drawing tools, lessons on drawing techniques, and step-by-step drawing projects. Although my son is not a professional artist now, his drawing skills have greatly improved.
These aren't books that my children have read once and then put away. They refer to these books often and have gotten lots of use out of them.
