Kids Book Fair Stuff

So many of you may know that I spent my morning yesterday volunteering at the Scholastic Book Fair at my  local elementary school. I like volunteering and added bonus, I got to help kids pick out books. It had nightmare potential especially with the younger kids but I made it out alive and not without a few books for my 5 year old sister.

Anyway, I though I'd show you all some books I was surprised to see, some of the ones that sold out, and what my sister ended up getting.

The Lost Hero among a bunch of other Riordan novels surprised me. I didn't expect to see them since they are more along the lines of middle graders but they sold good.





Monster High- When I read this, I was fresh out of high shcool so it surprised me that this was here (but then, with the appeal of the dolls and accessories I shouldn't have been so surprised). Another surprising thing about it- we sold out ... quick. In fact, several students paid for the book anyway to have it shipped to the school by next week from Scholastic. One parent even ordered the entire series to be delivered to the school. (I would have just went to the store for a sale, but hey, all of the money helps the school.)


Pete the Cat: I'm the oldest of 6 children and I've seen kids books galore but I have never even heard of Pete the Cat. However, James Dean seems to be doing pretty good with these books because we sold out of these too.




Flipped: I loved this movie! I think I was most surprised because the book was published so long ago. I wish I would have bought it but I was there to get books for my sister and to volunteer and I went over my book budget already anyway, lol. If you read the book, I'd love to know what you thought of it.



Now onto what my sister got. Beware: It's all very typical of a 5 year old girl.
