Free Book Offer From Scholastic

I just posted this on my tracking a publisher blog, but I thought I'd post it here too, just in case any of you know any little people (or their parents) that would want to know how to get $5 to use with Scholastic Book Club orders or the online Scholastic store...

Check out this spectacular offer from Kellogg's, Walmart, and Scholastic...

Right now, Walmart's shelves are filled with free books. Well, technically, they're filled with boxes of food, which have codes that when entered online will give you a $5 coupon to buy books.

There is a code on specially-marked boxes of Kellogg's products — the good ones that you would buy anyway, like Frosted Mini Wheats, Fruit Loops, Eggo Waffles, Pop Tarts, Cheez-its, and tons of others — that you can redeem on the Scholastic website for a free $5 coupon. It takes two codes to get the five bucks, but you can redeem as many as you want... so if you buy 10 boxes of Cheez-its (my personal favorite) you get $25 to use at the online Scholastic Store or Scholastic Book Clubs.

The downside? You can only use one $5 coupon per transaction. So, while you can get a $5 book for free (plus shipping at the online store), you can't get $25 worth of books for free all in one go.

But hey, it's $5 for books from things you'd buy anyway.

So get shopping! All you have to do is figure out which book to get. Good thing Scholastic has thoughtfully selected their top picks for under $5. Just make sure to redeem your coupons by July 1.
