NEW Barnes and Noble Kids' Club!

What parent wouldn’t want their kiddos to join a book club that’s fun, free, and offers rewards?! For this reason, I was super excited to hear about the new Barnes & Noble Kids' Club.

As members of this free club, your kids (ages 12 and under) will snag the following…

* 30% off the list price on any one kids’ book or toy (this 30% off coupon will be sent via email).

* $5 reward for every $100 you spend on kids’ stuff online and in stores (qualifying products include most children’s books, toys, games, puzzles and workbooks); you can receive up to 4 rewards every year.

* Special Birthday Offer: You’ll receive a coupon via email for a FREE cupcake or cookie from the Barnes & Noble Café that you can use anytime during your child’s birthday weeks, and a FREE create–a–book project on Tikatok.com (their partner website that allows children to create their own books).

* Every month, you’ll receive an email newsletter with additional offers and savings. Just for signing up, you’ll be able to get 25% off every day on Tikatok.com.

**To join the Kids’ Club, fill out an enrollment form at your local store and then hand your completed form to a bookseller. You can also sign up for the program online by clicking the “FREE! Join Now!” button here. Your loyalty card will arrive approximately 10 days after it is requested.

Bella Books is looking for young readers to share their thoughts about The Sword of Darrow (a book that is set to be released next year) and what you’d like to see in the sequel to make it even better than the first.

Here’s what kids who participate will receive…

* A special, personalized pre-release edition of the magical new children’s book, The Sword of Darrow

* An official BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle membership certificate
