Check with your local library to see when they have their sales. You'll find rock-bottom prices at these events. Used book stores Head right to the children's section in the used bookstore. They will usually have a great selection and reasonable prices. Thrift shops Many thrift shops have books in addition to their clothing and household items.
Many teachers subscribe to commercial book clubs that offer very inexpensive books to children.
In my experience, there are almost always books for less than a dollar. These are frequently in conjunction with a company that also has book clubs. You will usually find several bargain prices. When a gift-giving occasion is coming up, speak frankly with your relatives or friends who will be purchasing gifts for your child. Request that the gifts be books .
