Scholastic and Kellogg’s have teamed up in the goal of encouraging kids to read. One way they are doing that is by giving you an easy way to get FREE books in your home. Everyone knows that kids are more likely to read if there are interesting books around. I know it’s true for me, and it seems to encourage my kids as well.
Look around at Wal-Mart for Kellogg’s products marked with the Scholastic Free Book logo. And if your family is anything like mine, these are the kind of products that you buy anyway: Poptarts, Eggo frozen waffles, Frosted Flakes, Nutrigrain bars, Cheez-it crackers. This is like taking candy from a baby!
This promotion lasts through July 2012, and the number of coupons you can get is unlimited. They can be redeemed through the Scholastic Bookclub flyers sent home from school, but if you don’t get those, you can also redeem them at the Scholastic Store online (shipping charges may apply there). You can even donate the certificates to your child’s teacher so that she can select some books for the classroom.
Not only am I telling you about this promotion that I think is a lot of fun (who doesn’t love free books??), but one of you will win this fun package (which I also received in exchange for telling you about this promotion). My kids are always excited to get books, but when a box comes from Scholastic and is filled with tasty treats as well — it sort of cracked everybody up! Amanda had to snap a picture with her ipod touch (see above)
Books:
- Let it Fall by Maryann Cocca-Leffler
- Pirates Go to School by Corrine Demas and John Manders
- Geronimo Stilton: The Haunted Castle by Geronimo Stilton (Kyle’s favorite!)
- Goosebumps Horrorland: Five Masks of Dr. Scream by R.L. Stine
Kellogg’s® products:
- Kellogg’s® Pop-Tarts® toaster pastries (16 ct. – Cherry)
- Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes® cereal
- Kellogg’s® Frosted Mini-Wheats® Little Bites cereal
- Cheez-It™ Caddies (24 ct.)
- Kellogg’s® Nutri-Grain® bars (8 ct. – Strawberry)
AND a $15 Wal-Mart Pre-loaded Debit Card
Also, there are codes on those boxes that are included, so that’s 2 1/2 books that you can select yourself!
Please make sure to read all the official rules, but basically leave a comment here if you’d like to win (18 and over, U.S. residents only). The giveaway will close on 10/3/2011. The winner will be emailed and will also be announced here on 10/5/2011. The giveaway is closed.
Jennifer loves snacks and she loves books, so you can’t imagine how happy this promotion makes her. She blogs at Snapshot.

That is a great idea. What I also love is when you use the bookclub online your class also gets a free book for your order. I would love some new reads for my 3 and 7 year olds. Thank you.
