One of my favorite ways to acquire inexpensive books for kids is to stock up when Target dollar spot goes to 75% clearance. That happened this weekend (red dot only) and depending on your Target’s clearance schedule, it could still be going on today. (If you’re interested don’t delay as these usually only last a couple of days at best.) I like picking these up not just for my kids but for their younger friends as well — great for birthday party favor bags. These are also affordable and useful donations to the children’s hospital, drop-in nursery, etc. Back in February I led a Valentine’s storytime for our moms’ club and was able to give each child in attendance a paperback book for very low cost because of these quarter deals. Coloring books and other literacy related items show up in this clearance as well. During this latest sale, I’ve seen board books (Sesame Street, Alice in Wonderland, Witzy, Precious Moments, Fuzzy Bear, and various earth/green-themed), a few coloring and paperback books, pencil sets (Dora and Where the Wild Things Are), and some Disney animal activity books with stickers. For 62 cents, I saw a couple of diairies with locks (princess). Of course, availability varies and the discount is for red dot items only. Happy book shopping!
