Bookmark and Share

Amazon is running a fantastic sale on favorite Children’s book classics — the Berenstain Bears and Richard Scarry books — starting at $2.99! These wonderfully illustrated books are perfect for keeping your little ones busy on your next road-trip (or stock-up on gifts for upcoming birthdays and other special days).  We especially love the Berenstain Bears for the great lessons taught in a fun way.

 

  

There are literally thousands of books discounted in this limited time sale. Go here to see all the Berenstain Bears books on sale and here for the Richard Scarry book sale.

Secret Sauce Savings Tip:  Do note that if you plan to get any of these books, you might not want to wait, as we don’t know how long these will be available at the discounted price — as you might already know, Amazon prices sometimes change often.
