This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been contacted. Congrats Judy!
Ever since the day Hailey was born until now I have read to her every single day. And I can tell you without a doubt- that Hailey loves books more than anything. As soon as Hailey gets up in the morning she gets her books out and starts “reading.” She brings books to the table for every meal and always has to have some books in the bathroom. All day long I hear, “Read to me Mommy!” It makes me happy to know how much she loves books.
I have a pretty nice selection of books that I used when I was teaching and Hailey really enjoys those. We make trips to the library to get books and Hailey often gets new books as gifs or just because. So, when I heard about a new company called Excite Books I was really excited. The best way to describe Excite Books is that it is like Netflix for kids books. Except that instead of sending the books back you can either keep them, donate some of them or donate all of them. When we got our package in the mail- Hailey was thrilled. She sat right now and started “reading” her new books. We worked for a long time together with her new sticker book. And then we read her new books again. She loved every minute of it!
Here is some information about Excite Books:
The concept is simple. Order a monthly subscription online for one, two or three books to be shipped to a youngster. A teacher certified and age appropriate book is chosen and mailed at an affordable $4.99. Send two books a month at $9.99 or three books for $14.99. Shipping and handling is always the same low $4.95, no matter how big the package.
After Excite Books has shipped a total of 12 books to one address, a prepaid / preaddressed envelope is mailed for a child to donate none, some, or all of his Excite Books to a library in need. Excite Books finds the libraries, arranges for the donations and spreads the joy of reading to a new group of youngsters.
With its 100% “excitement guarantee,” this month-to-month service requires no commitments or contracts. The company is so confident your Excite Kid will love the action-packed books that it offers a money-back guarantee.
So how would you like a chance to try out Excite Books? One lucky winner will get three books in the age category you choose, accompanied by eight free gifts.

If I won I’d love to get books for a boy in 5th grade.
My son is not a huge reader but he does enjoy the “Whimpy Kid” series and is excited about the next installment in the series which will be released in a couple of weeks. I have already pre-ordered it for him because he loves the series so much.
I’m hoping that getting books in the mail would excite (ha!) him and he’ll be more out to want to read his special new books. That would be great.
Thanks for the giveaway!
