Charlie And Lola Book Collection

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 27 November, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Charlie And Lola Book CollectionA Charlie and Lola Book Collection; hurrah! I do love a good book deal AND I’m rather fond of Charlie and Lola!

Charlie and Lola have been such a HUGE hit that

a) I wonder if it’s wrong to feel jealous of Lauren Child who created them and

b) whether there has been an explosion of little girls being named Lola…?

They really are the perfect brother-sister pair; Charlie is older, patient and wise, Lola is hilarious, impatient and younger.  She asks some brilliant questions and good old Charlie tries his best to answer them.

I’m trying to think whether we’ve ever met Charlie and Lola’s parents – I don’t think we have, they’re just sort of ‘implied’.

I don’t know anyone who isn’t totally smitten with Charlie and Lola, Charlie has…

“…a little sister Lola, she is small and very funny.”

These five chunky board books are ideal for really little book worms, the titles are:

  • Charlie and Lola's Things
  • Charlie and Lola's Animals
  • Charlie and Lola's Colours
  • Charlie and Lola's Shapes
  • Charlie and Lola's Numbers
  • Charlie and Lola's Opposites

They are up for grabs from Books Direct Bargains for £6.99 (the rrp is £29.94) and delivery is free too as you've spent over £5.

Charlie And Lola Board Book Set £1.50 @ BooksDirectBargains

Charlie And Lola Board Book Set £1.50 @ BooksDirectBargainsBooks Direct Bargains have a lovely little deal on this Charlie and Lola Board Book set of three books; at 50p a book you really can't go far wrong!

I love Charlie and Lola!

The other day when I was in the park with my youngest, we saw a boy who was the SPITTING image of Charlie - it was quite unnerving actually and I resisted the temptation to look around for Lola!

I don't know anyone who isn't totally smitten with Charlie and Lola, Charlie has...

"...a little sister Lola, she is small and very funny."

Ahhhh it just reminds me of bed time with my youngest when he was a couple of years younger.

Charlie and Lola were on TV at just the right time for post warm bath, in pyjamas and hot milk viewing which was followed by bed and more Charlie and Lola with bed time stories.

These three board books are ideal for really little book worms, the titles are:

  • Charlie and Lola's Things
  • Charlie and Lola's Animals
  • Charlie and Lola's Opposites

If you spend over £5 with BooksDirectBargains then you'll get free delivery, so it's worth looking around to see whether anything else takes your fancy.

Or perhaps order three sets and keep them in the pressie drawer for those last minute present dramas!

16 Activity Books (Thomas, Charlie & Lola etc) £9.99 @ BooksDirectBargains

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 28 September, 2010 at 9:00 am

16 Activity Books (Thomas, Charlie & Lola etc) £9.99 @ BooksDirectBargainsI'm really beginning to love BooksDirectBargains - this deal for 16 kids activity books for just £9.99 is absolutely storming, in my opinion!

I WANT these books!

It may well be that the weather, for the foreseeable future, in your part of the country is set to be lovely and autumnal - but where I am...it's not.

Rain, rain, some wind and then maybe some more rain is what's in store for us.  So ALL HAIL the joy and brilliance of the activity book - I'd be lost without them!

Ok, so the Teenagers aren't overly fussed with them anymore , but they used to be, and my youngest adores messing around with activity books.

You get a ridiculous amount for your money with these 16 activity books; brace yourselves, you get:

  • Books featuring: Thomas, Charlie and Lola, Lazytown, The Moomins and Bob the Builder
  • Over 200 stickers
  • Reward posters
  • Colouring pencils
  • Patterned paper
  • Carry case
  • Thomas chalkboard story book
  • My Absolutely Best Story Collection - five Charlie and Lola story books

I'm sure there's more!

You could also split this up and use the bits and pieces to put in party bags, if your little one has a party coming up soon!

There's no delivery to pay either - just £9.99 when it should be £58.99! This has to be my Deal of the Day; amazing!

Spot The Dog Book Collection £5.00 @ Books Direct BargainsI have such fond memories of reading Spot the Dog to my daughter when she was really little.  Books Direct Bargains are offering 11 Spot the Dog books, along with a free gift, for just £5.

I don't know any child or parent who's encountered Spot the Dog and not totallly, and utterly, fallen head over heels in love with him.

There's such a wonderful innocence about these stories and remember feeling really quite sad when my daughter grew out of him and moved on to reading pastures new.

With this collection of Spot the Dog books you get four lift-the-flap board books, a 'My Little Library' collection which has six mini books in their own slip case, along with a buggy board book that you can attach to the pram, buggy or push chair.

For your free gift you can choose four Fisher-Price board books: The World Around Me, All About My Day, Ears, Nose and Toes! and Who Lives in the Rainforest.  Or if you'd rather, you can choose a  red three-piece luggage set.

Spot The Dog Book Collection £5.00 @ Books Direct BargainsTo claim your free gift, enter 55099 into the promotional code box in your basket, press update and you’ll be taken to the choices.

There isn't any postage to pay for this Spot the Dog book collection and free gift either; hurrah!

Peter Rabbit Book Collection £25.00 @ booksdirectbargains

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 20 August, 2010 at 11:00 am

Peter Rabbit Book Collection £25.00 @ booksdirectbargains

This Peter Rabbit book collection has been around for a long time - the first set I bought was way back in 1994!

I bought it as a special offer (I don't remember if it was from the same company) before my first son was born. I loved reading him the stories and he loved looking at the pictures before he was old enough to follow along.

I bought another set in 1995 for my daughter and another in 2006 for my youngest son - he absolutely ADORES Mr Jeremy Fisher and always laughs when he loses his galoshes to the pike in the pond.

Why buy three sets? Because they are so lovely, that's why! Both the Teenagers still have their Beatrix Potter 'Peter Rabbit Book Collections' and very occasionally, if you're quiet, you'll catch them reading them again.

The retail price for these 23 beautifully illustrated, and presented, hardback books is £114.77 - now I don't know of ANYONE who's ever paid that price for them (a bit like the huge Times Atlas of the World that I have, which is supposed to have an rrp of £199.99 *giggle*) but it matters not, these books are so delicious I don't care what the rrp is, and £25 is a price I'm more than prepared to pay!
