Zig Zag Zebra and FREE Shipping

When the UPS truck rumbles up to our house my kids go bonkers! Mostly because 9 times out of ten that means a new box (or 6) of Barefoot Books! This fall Barefoot unveiled a collection of activity books. For the active children in our family these where eagerly awaited. They did not disappoint!

Every child who is free to play at drawing is preparing to learn how to read and write at the same time. Dotty Spotty Doodles and Zig Zag Zebra each contain 22 activities for kids: mazes, coloring pages, seek-and-finds and more! Perfect for my 6 year old!

The Whole World and Pirates Fun Activities are chuck full of games, mazes and puzzles designed to keep the slightly older child challenged and entertained. A real boredom buster for my almost 8 year old!

Needless to say we have ordered several extras and given them as Birthday (and will give them as holiday gifts) with our favorite Barefoot Books!

Now I really w
ant to share these books with you...so lets make it a little easier and help you save some money this season! All online orders placed between now and November 25th receive FREE shipping PLUS a FREE copy of Zig Zag Zebra with all orders over $50!

A Book Lover in the Making

At the Village Market tonight I meet a great 10 year old. He was helping his mom, another vendor, set up but then had very little to do during the market.
While he was browsing my display I suggested several titles, Little Leap Forward, Barefoot Book of Pirates. He was drawn to The Boy Who Grew Flowers and settled in on my rug to read it. Mom commented that his teacher wanted him to read at a higher level and he was always choosing picture books below his reading level. I pointed out that just because these books had pictures didn't mean they were below his level. Next he picked up the Barefoot Book of Monsters, and didn't put it down.
The next thing I knew he was counting his money in his wallet to buy it! He read all evening, camped out on the rug!
Mom was ecstatic! She had never seen him read like that!
Next they want to buy some books for his little sister and their teachers!
