New! Discount Children’s Christmas Books!

Reading to my children was one of the things that I looked forward to the most about becoming a mother.  I actually started collecting children’s books years before I had children of my own. I couldn’t wait to start reading to my first baby, so I would read to her while I was pregnant.  Reading to our children has become a source of joy, learning and relaxation for the whole family.

Discount Children’s Books

One large city where we lived, had a fabulous discount book store. I loved going through the stacks and finding great bargains on children’s books. So, when I decided to start my own children’s store, I just had to offer discount children’s books to you! 

Discount Children’s Books are new books that were overruns or returned to the publisher. Usually these books have a black marker line on the outside edge of the book to indicate that they are a return. Some may be slightly worn. (I have never found these things to be a problem with children’s books since most children are a little less than gentle with their books and they get worn rather quickly.)

I have gone through thousands of titles and carefully selected our inventory.  Our inventory changes frequently.  We buy a certain number of each title, when the title is sold out, we are usually unable to acquire any more at the discounted price.  So, if you see one you like, its best to buy it now! If you would like to be notified when we get new shipments of Discount Children’s Books, please sign up for our Newsletter.

Reasons for Reading to Your Young Children

There are so many positive reasons for reading to your children that I couldn’t possibly mention them all here, or do them the justice that they deserve. However, I would like to mention a couple, that I feel are some of the most important.

  • Parent-Child Bonding.  I feel that this is the most important reason to read to your young child. Young children don’t need to learn how to read, but they do need to feel your loving arms encircling them, the rhythm and timbre of your voice and the feelings of security that this special time creates.
  • Language Development.  Young children learn language by hearing it.  Reading to your child bathes him or her the richness of language. Words from oft heard stories enrich your child’s vocabulary.  I once joked to my mother that in order to decipher what my two year old daughter was trying to say, you needed to have the same literary background as she did.
  • The Development of the Imagination.  We give our children a valuable gift when we nurture their imaginations through good stories. Children’s books are alive with wonderful illustrations, but there is much for the young mind to do as he finishes the work of the author and illustrator in his own mind.

Tips for Successfully Reading to Your Young Child

  • Have a routine time when you read together.
  • Have a routine place where you read together.
  • Give your child your undivided attention.
  • Make the experience enjoyable, don’t force it. If your child wants down in the middle of a story, continue reading as she plays.
  • Have plenty of books accessible for your children to explore on their own. (For the very young child, just keep the board books out for less destructive exploration!)
  • Feel free to modify the words of the book to suit your child.  If you would like to share a children’s book with your child that is too advanced, rephrase the words and you can “grow” into it.
