Scholastic have put together 2 fantastic bundles of 24 books for advent 2017 and I'm truly delighted to be able to give away one of each. If you bought all of these books individually then they'd cost over £145rrp, but Scholastic are giving everyone an early Christmas gift and this Advent Pack of 24 books for age 0-7 is available to buy for only £29.99 while stocks last.
Scholastic Books are responsible for my earliest memories of loving books, I waited for the Scholastic Books leaflet each term with a great deal of excitement as I was allowed to choose a brand new book for myself. It gives me great joy to be working with Scholastic on such an awesome Christmas giveaway.
Included in the 0-7 bundle are books by some excellent authors including Nick Sharratt, Julia Donaldson and Mick Inkpen, and it actually includes 2 of my all-time favourite Children's books - Kipper's Christmas Eve and Stick Man.
This giveaway features short stories and picture books for you to read with young children who aren't yet confident reading by themselves. I also have another Advent Bundle Giveaway for older, independent readers - Young Fiction for children aged around 7+.
Advent Bundles aren't Scholastics only book packs - we've written before about the Laugh Out Loud Awards (vote until Dec 8th) and Scholastic have a pack of all 12 Laugh Out Loud Awards (Lollies) finalists for only £24.99 - saving a massive £55 over the rrp.
