Another big win.....

Last week I redeemed some of my Swagbucks for some amazing books from Amazon.  They arrived today and we have already started reading them!  What fun to get new books in the mail! 

Here's what we received:

Eloise Wilkin Stories (Little Golden Book Treasury)  Eloise Wilkin Stories--This includes nine of Ms. Wilkins stories.  I absolutely adore her pictures and books.  So sweet and innocent!

Aesop's Fables for Children: Includes a Read-and-Listen CD (Dover Pictorial Archives)  Aesop's Fables for Children--This included a read-and-listen CD, which I'm hoping Luke will love, especially during quiet time.  Such a classic book!

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name  The Jesus Storybook Bible--This book was highly recommended by two of my favorite bloggers on the same day!  We read the introduction tonight and I think the children will really enjoy it.  The pictures are really great, too!

The World of Christopher Robin: The Complete When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six (Pooh Original Edition)  The World of Christopher Robin:  The Complete When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six--This is a collection of poetry by A.A. Milne.  It also has adorable little pictures.  I love reading poetry to the children.  I want  them develop an appreciation for its beauty.

The Children's Book of Virtues  The Children's Book of Virtues--I have checked this book out from the library before and we loved it!  It has short stories that have some sort of moral in them.  It's similar to Aesop's Fables, in my opinion. 

I was under the assumption that you had to order new books to be eligible for the Super Saver Shipping on orders of $25 or more.  Turns out that's not the case.  Three of the five books I purchased were brand new, while the other two were used.  All five of them were eligible for free shipping, so be sure to check carefully when shopping!
