A Scholastic Book Fair offers kids access to hundreds of exciting books at affordable prices -- and helps schools raise much-needed funds!

A Book Fair is a special reading event that is held in schools throughout the country where kids and families get to shop for their very own books! It's like a mini-bookstore, only much better! And every book has been hand-selected, reviewed and approved by reading specialists.

Top five reasons not to miss the Fair:

1. You can shop from hundreds of quality books in every price range, interest, and reading level.

2. You'll find exclusive, more affordable editions of many of the most popular books sold in retail stores.

3. You'll help your child's school earn books and funds for classrooms and libraries.

4. You'll connect with your child's school reading and literacy initiatives.

5. And best of all, you and your child will have fun choosing books together.
