We get lovely letters all year 'round. A look at our latest fan mail:
Dear Roberta,
My children have been in the (Book Stall's) Children's Book-of-the-Month Club for seven years. They love it. They look forward to it every month. The selections could not be better. As the children have become better readers, the books have continued to challenge them. When people come to our home, they always comment on the great selection of books the kids have. M.M.
The Book Stall's Children's Book Club
Children who belong to The Book Stall's Children's Book Club receive books in the mail every month or every other month, individually chosen by members of the Children's Department staff, based on a child's interests, reading habits, and enthusiasms. Those who give children the gift of membership discuss the child's tastes and reading history with us either in person, on the phone, or via e-mail to childrens@thebookstall.com. The books are wrapped and include a personal note reminding them from whom the book came. More info on The Children's Book Club
