The Dr. Seuss Book Club
I've got an alternative!
Ta-da! I now heartily recommend the Dr. Seuss Book Club! To be honest, these book clubs drive me crazy. They're always changing their rules. And sure enough, the Dr. Seuss Book Club - which I used to recommend against - informed me last year that they'd made a change where I figured I could barely recommend them. Then this year... They made a change where I now wholeheartedly recommend them! The club has these key features: - No obligation.
- Cancel at any time.
Those are pretty huge. (It's not how it used to be!) But now they've sweetened things up even more. They'll start you off with eight books for just $9.98 and no shipping. (They even throw in a free Dr. Seuss tote bag to hold all your new rhymes. And that's eight books for a total of $9.98. NOT $9.98 each.) Put that together with "no obligation to continue" and you have a pretty screaming deal! (Remember one thing: these offers can change. So when you get to their site , make sure the terms are still as I describe them!) The Story of Dr. Seuss In the early 1950s, parents and educators worried that beginning reading books (think Dick & Jane) were so boring that they were turning kids off of reading. A call went out to Dr. Seuss! The author-illustrator of great books for older kids decided to take a crack at a limited vocabulary beginning reader. The result was The Cat in the Hat! | |
And get this: free shipping on your initial books. Starting to see why I'm recommending this? Oh, and don't forget... Dr. Seuss was the greatest picture book author of all time and your kids should be exposed to his books! The new Dr. Seuss Book Club deal... Take advantage of the new deal and the Seuss Book Club (officially called Dr. Seuss & His Friends, because they send you some top-notch non-Seuss too, like Go, Dog, Go and Are You My Mother) is going to send you eight books. No shipping and handling. (Plus the free tote bag.) They'll charge you $9.98. Period. How exactly can they be this generous? Well, the Dr. Seuss Book Club is of course hoping you'll continue. Because now, unless you cancel, they're going to send you three books a month automatically. Even these books will only cost $4.99 (deal!) plus an unspecified shipping and handling charge. But remember, you can cancel at any time. Also, you can return any books that are shipped to you (but you have to do it at your expense). Two other things 1) Unlike other book clubs, you're not given the option of refusing the $4.99 books before they're sent to you. If you don't want them, you either send them back, or you quit before they send them! So you don't have the hassle of refusing all the time, and at this price you really can't get burned. However... 2) Four times a year, they're going to offer you "two giant-size Dr. Seuss classics or other items to complement your club." These things, they say, will likely cost $15.00 plus shipping and handling. So now we know the catch! Here's the good news... With these big items, they will warn you. You can decline to have them sent. Also, if they do send them, you can return them (at your expense). So here's what it comes down to The Dr. Seuss Book Club is a rockin' deal, so long as the 4 times a year when they send you a notification you bother to say, "No, I don't want that" (if in fact you don't). If you can handle that minor hassle, here's how you sign up. 8 Classic Dr. Seuss Books For Only $9.98 – Over 75% Off + Free Shipping  Oh, and one other thing... If you don't like giving out your credit card number online, I've got a secret that might still work... I don't know how long they'll keep it going, but I have a link to the Dr. Seuss Book Club's old "bill me later" deal. It's a different offer (read the details at their site!) but it doesn't require entering your credit card number. If it still works, you're a winner! Here it is: Dr. Seuss Book Club "bill me later" option Hey... Children's magazines are another way to get reading material to show up regularly in the mail!
