Dear Noodle Kidoodle Stockholder:
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Proxy materials were recently mailed to you for the special meeting of
Noodle Kidoodle stockholders on July 25, 2000. This special meeting was called
to allow our stockholders to vote on the proposed merger of Zany Brainy, Inc.
and Noodle Kidoodle, Inc.
According to our records, your proxy has not yet been received. We
recommend that you vote your Noodle Kidoodle shares FOR the merger as soon as
possible.
Your vote is important!
Voting your shares can make a difference, regardless of the number of
shares you own. For the merger to be approved, a majority of all outstanding
Noodle Kidoodle shares must be voted FOR the merger. If you support the merger,
you must actually vote your shares. Taking no action will be counted as a vote
against the merger.
All shareholders may vote by mailing the enclosed proxy card in the
postage-paid envelope provided. In addition, shareholders who hold accounts
through a broker or brokerage firm may vote via a toll-free telephone number or
the Internet. To vote by telephone, call the toll-free number that appears in
the grey-shaded area on the upper left side of the enclosed voting card. You
will need to enter the control number that appears directly below the toll-free
phone number when you vote. To vote on the Internet, go to www.proxyvote.com and
follow the instructions. Telephone and Internet voting is fast, convenient and
free, and your vote is immediately confirmed.
Because time is of the essence, we encourage you to vote as soon as
possible. If you vote by telephone or Internet, your vote must be received
before midnight on Monday, July 24, 2000.
Please take a moment to help us reach the required vote. Thank you for your
cooperation and support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stanley Greenman
