Tidy Books, Book Box Review & Giveaway!!! Special 15% Discount Code For Tidy-Books.com!!!

Tidy Books Logo

One of the issues of being a book loving family, is finding ways to store all of our glorious books.  My children have enormous amounts of books, but I believe you can never have too many.  As a Tidy Books Ambassador I love promoting the great products they have that keep books neat and tidy but still let kids see the covers of the books.  Small children usually cannot recognize books by the title on the spine, so displays that let them see the covers encourage reading, because children really do judge books by their cover.

Tidy Books Box Natural

I recently received the Tidy Books, Book Box in Blue.  this sturdy, large box holds so many books and it even has a clock that is great for teaching little ones time.  The box was easy to assemble and is great to keep in the family room or child’s bedroom filled with their favorite books.  The box is available in natural, white or blue.

Kids do judge a book by its cover – 3 great ways to get your little ones loving reading!

Babies and children love to browse through books well before they can read, and if children can explore their books independently, it helps to plant a love of books and reading from right from the crucial early years.

Here are some ideas to get your kids loving reading!

  1.  Have lots of books around the house!

Studies show that more books in the home lead to greater academic achievement in children.   8 out of 10 kids who have books of their own at home are more likely to be above average readers*.  And if you’re a confident reader, you’re more likely to do better at school, and love reading more.  Kids love getting books as gifts and treats.  Give kids the feeling of ownership by putting their books in a special kids bookcase or book box.

*Source National Literacy Trust, Book Ownership Report 2011.

 

  1. Let kids choose their own books

“Let children choose their own books, from an appropriate selection. This helps build a lifelong love of reading.” Building Blocks US Dept Health and Human Services

What’s more, kids do judge books by the cover!  They need to see the front covers of books (and the often beautiful artwork), rather than the books’ spines to decide whether it’s worth picking up or not.

If kids can choose what they read, then they enjoy reading more.  Nerdy Book Club has 5 great reasons to get children to take control over what they read.  Publishing expert Michael Norris also advises parents NOT to equate reading with ‘good’ behaviour!

  1. Read real (print) books together

Reading together is a brilliant way to end the day, to have a cuddle or while away a train ride, and of course, starts children off on their journey of reading.  Despite the hype about ebooks, most parents still prefer print books for their kids.   Print books give young children a complete sensory experience; touch, smell and feel of the pages as they turn them, and which builds up their love of books and reading.

3 out of 4 parents and kids, plump for print books for bedtime stories*.  Kids get to use all of their senses, and often kids’ books use flaps or pull outs to add to the story (like the surprise ending in Abigail by Catherine Rayner, or the classic Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell.

Tidy Books, Children’s Bookcase Review & Giveaway!!!

images (4)

I was recently contacted and asked to be an ambassador for Tidy Books.  I was thrilled to be chosen as we are such a book family.  My kids have so many books and we all love to read, the Tidy Books Children’s Bookcase is perfect with quality construction that is durable using wood from sustainable sources.  The wood is finished with eco-friendly water lacquer finish with low VOCs.  Each unit is hand finished and has a 5 year guarantee.  Tidy books has strict quality control and the bookcase pieces were carefully wrapped and packaged and we did not run into any damaged, broken or missing pieces or hardware.

The bookcase can hold up to 85 different shaped books and displays them in a way that kids and adults find appealing.  The bookcase is available in natural, white, blue or pink finishes and really makes a lovely addition to bedrooms and playrooms.  The slim design uses very little floor space and it fixes and secures safely to the wall.  The case displays the books so that little children can see the covers since they do choose a book by the cover!  It is easy for kids to take books and put them back which helps keep play areas and bedrooms neat and clean.
