Use this Ladybird Books promotional code to get 25% off your order and free delivery when you buy selected Christmas books. Unfortunately I couldn't work out how to tell which books in the Christmas section that this applies to, so there is a bit of trial and error involved. Worth it to pick up a lovely present or stocking filler.

To use this code, go to the Shopping Basket, enter it in the Coupon Code box, and press the Update Basket button. You'll see the discount automatically applied, and the free delivery further on through checkout.

Free delivery is always a favourite of mine as it means you can pick up just one item, without having to add that extra amount (which often makes it less of a bargain).

I'm not sure which of the books in the Christmas section this can be applied to. I rather excitedly tried to buy the Christmas Carols Book and CD, but it wouldn't let me use the code. Next I tried it on the My First Christmas Collection: Little Library. This had been priced at £5 but the code took that down to £3.74.

If you're looking for a little stocking filler for someone tiny, that won't break the bank, that they won't grow out of in two seconds flat AND has an educational element to it, then you should have a look at this My First Christmas Collection.

It's comprises four little board books in a presentation slip case and Red House Books are selling them for £2.49 instead of £4.99.

I'm such a fan of little chunky board books; every child should fall in love with books and reading, and introducing them to books and stories as early on in their little lives as possible is the best way to achieve this.

My youngest ADORES books and reading, he has tons of them, and we started off him off with lots of chunky board books like this My First Christmas Collection.

Each book features a different Christmas character and has 10 pages, they're not going to be complicated AT all - just simple pictures with simple words on and pages chunky enough for chubby baby hands to be able to get to grips with; awesome.

Try delivery codes FREERED or 117FREE for free delivery (some people have had to try them a couple of times to get them to work), failing that there'll be a single item delivery charge of £1.95.

Happy Chunky Book Reading

I love book collections; I just love books in general, but book collections make for cost-effective presents; they provide endless amounts of joy for very little money - I used to read books from my young childhood days when I was 'too old' for them, they just made me feel warm and cosy!

I can't comment on the other nine books in the Winter Wonderland Book Collection, but I can tell you that The Gruffalo's Child is just as fabulous as The Gruffalo.  I must confess I resisted reading it for a long time, it smacked a bit of  'cashing in' to me but it's nothing of the sort; it's since become as much of a favourite as its predecessor.

There's normally a single item delivery charge, of £1.95, to pay but I've got a free delivery code for you - enter 241PLUS into the promotion box and you won't have to pay anything other than £9.99 for your Winter Wonderland Book Collection.
