FUNFARE & BOOK ZONE – 24 pages each
The Summer issue catalogues with over 430 titles continue with expanded sections for parents to support their children’s work at school with workbooks and reading books plus more reference books to help build a home library. There are new selections of books in the excellent value half price book packs which have proved to be popular on previous issues.
Funfare has an expanded section for ages 3 to 5 with more activity and simple information books to share and the fiction section for ages 5 to 8 has increased from five to eight pages providing a broader range of books for this group of enthusiastic readers. Book Zone now covers ages 9 to 16 – there are eight pages of fiction grouped by theme and readers’ interests for younger readers and older readers continue to be catered for in the distinctive My Word section.
TEACHERS’ CHOICE
A broad selection of resources for the class and school library which can be used for selecting free books against commission earned from the club. While the Summer issue is current, orders placed from this catalogue will also benefit from the 25% commission.
