Fabulous Freebie: 11,000 Free eBooks @ The Book Depository

I love books. I utterly adore them, and I don’t care what format they are in. Be they eBook, PDF, onscreen or scrummy smelling paper classic, a book is a treasure. So, this freebie made me tingle and should, I hope, do the same for you. Here lies 11,000 free books. For you. For free.

No, instead you will find luscious classics that drip fond memories, great grammar and excellent spelling. You will find Kahlil Gibran, Nahum Tate, H.P. Lovecraft (awesome), Mary Robinson, Tennyson and plenty more. There are 13702 results under the 11,000 free ebooks title on the site so you will have more than enough too choose from.

Aliens Love Panta Claus £2.97 @ The Book Depository

Aliens Love Panta Claus is the third instalment of the Aliens series of books by Claire Freedman. My daughter utterly adored Aliens Love Underpants – in fact I can probably recite it in my sleep – and this loos to be as adorable as its predecessors.

To get the low price of £2.97 you will need to use the Book Depository 10% off code which is FCBZ10. This will shave off a nice number from the price you see on the page and they will deliver it for free.

In this  book the aliens are very excited. It is nearly Christmas Day and instead of stealing underpants they are now giving them away. To fit in with the festive spirit they are going to share out their beloved underpants with everyone else. But only for one day – after that your underpants are fair game once again.

These stories feature really catchy rhymes and are delightfully entertaining for adults and children alike. I also find the illustrations utterly hilarious. A fabulous Christmas gift this one.

Aliens Love Panta Claus The Book Depository have a rather nice little deal on the wonderful Aliens Love Panta Claus story by Claire Freedman.

There are a few things which are always guaranteed to make kids laugh and they generally involve pants, knickers, weeing and farting!

What can I say?! Books about aliens and underpants are guaranteed to be a hilarious hit with the kids...and, let's face it, most grown-ups too *grin*

Claire Freedman, the author of Aliens Love Panta Claus, also penned the wildly popular Aliens Love Underpants - if you have that one, then your kids are going to love Aliens Love Panta Claus!

This time, instead of stealing underpants, the aliens are in generous festive mood and want to GIVE everyone underpants, so they enlist the help of Santa Panta Claus.

The reviews for this lovely book are fantastic - here's a little snifter of what others have to say about it...

"Bought this book for my daughter as she absolutely loves the other three books in this series. Anything about underpants makes her laugh and this one is even better as she loves Santa too."

"This was a book that I bought to read to my grandchildren (aged 6,4 and 2 two year olds), they loved it and so did I, we all laughed as it is very funny. Highly recommended as a good fun read."

The usual retail price for Aliens Love Panta Claus is £5.99, The Book Depository are currently letting it go for £2.97 and with free delivery too.

Charlie and Lola Activity Book £2.75 @ The Book Depository

Charlie and Lola Activity Book £2.75 @ The Book Depository"I really must do sticking and scribbling now!" OHHH if only all brothers and sisters would get on as well as Charlie and Lola do.

"This is my little sister, she is small and very funny," would be music to my ears rather than (said in gruff teenage voice), "This is my sister; she's annoying..."

I've always had a bit of a thing for activity books, sticker books, colouring-in books - some parents argue that they are the very devil and encourage children to write and draw in ALL books, including prized first editions.  But I say RUBBISH, they are perfect for teaching the very opposite, that there are books you're SUPPOSED to write and scribble in, books you are not and perfecting the art of enjoying both.

Charlie and Lola Activity Book £2.75 @ The Book DepositoryThis book has lots of things for your little Picasso to enjoy - pictures to colour in or finish off, places for stickers and blank pages for creating a masterpiece from scratch.

In stock at The Book Depository with 31% off at £2.75 including free delivery and usually sent out to you within 24 hours too.  "I am completely ready to do book ordering now!"

OHHHH I LOVE THIS BOOK!  Ok, I love ALL books but this one definitely falls into the 'most favourite' category!

The words of this story are almost as familiar to me as my own name - from having it read to me as a chid ("Wow mum, can you remember that far back?" "Yes, and YES we had electricity in those days!"), to marching through woods singing it when I was in the Brownies (ok, stop laughing) and then reading it to my own children - all of them have loved it and the numerous copies we possess are well-worn.

Follow the family over 40 glorious pages full of adventure and excitement as they go on a bear hunt through long grass, across rivers and through mud to find a surprise waiting for them in a cave in the dark forest!  No spoiler alerts necessary here - if you want to find out what happens you'll have to read it for yourself.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt (Paperback) - Less Than Half Price - £2.49 delivered / Board Book £2.39 delivered @ The Book DepositoryThe Book Depository are practically giving copies away at £2.49 for the paperback version and £2.39 for a board copy both with FREE delivery and usually dispatched within 48 hours; you'll be bear hunting with your litte ones before you know it!

This book is timeless and an absolute classic,  if there were ever to be a compulsory chidhood reading list then this would be on  it.
