Elmo’s Learning Adventure – Try the Introductory Package

unnamedKids love learning with Sesame Street characters. Get 3 sets of Sesame Street books plus 2 free gifts (freebies are the backpack and adventure card box). This package has a $44.75 value.  Each set contains a hardcover storybook, activity book and 6 adventure cards.  Kids love getting two new learning sets in the mail every three weeks. No obligation to buy anything else — ever.

My take on this?  Anything you can do to promote reading is worth it.  So you start out with comic books (excuse me:  graphic novels) – it’s a start!  Try this deal and if you don’t like it – CANCEL AT ANY TIME!  You are not locked into a contract, so why not?

Blurb: Custom Chicken Soup books!

These Chicken Soup books are immensely popular – I’ve seen them at garage sales, book stores, library shelves … for everyone up to and including the family dog (mebbe).  But now Blurb has a offer for a customized Chicken Soup for the Soul because you never know what to give some people – how do you give something totally them when they already have everything?

These personalized “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books are a great way to do it. Not only do you get to choose from five different story themes (from “Christmas Stories” to “Giving Thanks”), you can personalize it in ways you just can’t with a conventional book. As the title suggests, these are stories meant to comfort and heal.

Your custom “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book will truly be a book for them because the book is printed with their name on the cover, as the recipient. And it’s truly from you because your name is printed on the cover as the giver. You can also include an inscription inside the book and on the back cover or add a photo to the back.

Choose other options, too, like the type of cover and paper. It takes about five minutes to make it a truly custom book; a 60-page book starts at just $24.95 (they also offer a 120-page version).

There’s a quick video here: Chicken Soup for the Soul that shows you how to fill in all the info using a simple online tool. The books are all done by Blurb, so you know the quality will be great.  DH made a memory book last year of old photos for friends that was very, very nicely done – easy to do online, too.
