Now this is a fantastic deal for any parent with a tot in the first years of school. Utterly brilliant, in fact. Here you have 48 books in the Read at Home series that tells the stories of Biff, Chip and Kipper in a series that will expand your child’s literacy exponentially.

• Click here to get reading with The Book People

This is one deal that I’m definitely going to be taking advantage of. 48 books for only £25 and all of them seriously brilliant for child education. Originally selling for £243.51, you are saving a hefty £218.51 off the original price. And there is free delivery on all orders over £25!

Now I will never understand why they called the girl of the series Biff. It seems unusually cruel, but that’s pretty much what she is called throughout. You will also find a hidden pair of glasses either on every page, or on one of the pages in each book. I love that sort of thing. I hunt the ducks in the Usborne series…

I've written about the Gruffalo Pop--Up Theatre Book before and, as we've had a bit of a Gruffalo drought lately and this deal's popped up, I thought I'd write about it again.

The first time I wrote about it I said I wanted one, I still don't have one and I still want one - it just looks like so much fun.

You have two choices when you're the proud owner of a Gruffalo Pop-Up Theatre Book, you can be the director of your very own Gruffalo production and make up the story as you go along OR, you can stay faithful to the original Gruffalo story.

The Gruffalo Theatre Pop-Up Book comes with lots of extra Gruffalo goodies to help you put on your performances:  a full cast of characters, a play script and other bits and pieces.

If this is all you order from The Book People then you'll only have to pay the £1.95 single item delivery charge; if other things take your fancy and you spend over £25 then delivery will be free.

The Book People are selling this rather nice set of Alphabet books for £9.99 rather than the £47.76 list price.

• Click HERE to visit The Book People

These lovely little paperback Alphabet books have 20 pages each and will help your little one get to grips with learning the alphabet.

The Alphabet books contain lots of spot the difference, counting, sequencing and matching games which will help build your child's confidence as they take their first steps into the land of learning.

As grown ups it's easy to forget how fundamental the alphabet is and as a rule we probably don't remember much about our own learning of it.

Our reading, writing and vocabulary skills all depend on a solid grasp of the alphabet and these alphabet books will make sure that getting to grips with those 24 letters is fun and rewarding.

These little Alphabet books are also perfectly sized for packing in a bag and taking out and about with you if you need some distraction on the move...

"These are smaller than they appear on the website but are just handbag size, ideal for emergency actvities in restaurants, waiting rooms etc.

They are based around one letter but there is no writing or reading involved - good pre-reading activities like matching, odd one out etc for the preschool year or reception."

If these Alphabet books are all you're going to buy from The Book People then a single item delivery charge of £1.95 is all you'll pay; of course if you have more books to buy and your order goes over £25 then free delivery kicks in.

*Alert! Alert!* Calling all Roald Dahl fans - you can save the best part of £70 on this Roald Dahl Book Set as The Book People are selling it for £15.99 instead of £85.85.

• Click HERE to bag this DAHLING of a deal

I’m seriously tempted by this Roald Dahl book set; not for any of the kids, they already have their own well-thumbed copies of most of the Roald Dahl stories, but for ME.

I adore books; there’s something very delicious about having immaculate copies of books which evoke very happy memoires.

All of the Roald Dahl stories are firm favourites, I’m not sure I could pick out just one or two.

George's Marvellous Medicine is definitely on the 'most favourites' list and despite concerns from over-cautious parental corners, and other well-meaning types , to my knowledge no child ever mixed up a marvellous medicine of their own and poisoned their grandma!

The BFG, Fantastic Mr Fox and Danny Champion of the World have been made in to films; the animated BFG stars David Jason and Danny Champion of the World saw the rather scrummy Ralph Fiennes take the lead.

My youngest, and his dad, have recently just finished reading Fantastic Mr  Fox at bedtime - it was the first 'long' book and he adored the tale of Foxy and Badger, along with cider-swilling Rat.

And let's not forget The Twits and James and the Giant Peach, which are also included in this Roald Dahl Book Set.

The last time The Book People ran this price on the Roald Dahl Book Set they literally flew off the virtual book shelves, so if you want one I'd order it now.

Oh and if you add this code to your basket - UAR040 - you'll get free delivery too; marvellous.

I really like Maisy and her little adventures. Her best friends are Charley the Crocodile, Tallulah the Baby Chicken, Cyril Squirrel, and Eddie Elephant.

Ten books make up this Peppa Pig Book Collection and those lovely folks over at The Book People are letting them go for £9.99 instead of their £49.90 list price.

• Click HERE to pick up a Peppa Pig Book Collection

I love Peppa Pig.  I love how she'd have tiffs with Suzy Sheep because they'd disagreed with something and how it all worked out ok in the end.

My youngest son was a big fan of Peppa Pig and, had he not grown out of her a fair while ago, he'd have loved this Peppa Pig book collection.

The 10 books follow Peppa Pig as she experiences various common 'things'  such as recycling rubbish, jumping into the swimming pool and going on a school trip.

Stories like this are great as young ones can identify with a much-loved character and will learn more about interesting situations that they are likely to face while they are growing up.

This Peppa Pig Book Collection comes in a lovely little carry bag making it easy to take books out and about with you too, or somewhere to keep them all together.

Alternatively, if you have a party coming up then you can split up the Peppa Pig Book Collection and put a book in each party bag; nice and cheap, nice and sorted...OINK!

The Mr Men Complete Book Collection has been marked down from the usual retail price of £125 to only £30, a saving of £95. You can also get £3 off and the books delivered for free using the voucher code below.

The Mr Men books are timeless classics that enchanted us when we were kids and are amazing our kids today. The idea behind them is utterly genius which is why they are still so darn popular. Who doesn’t feel sorry for Mr Bump, or want to tell Mr Grumpy to shut up?

The Mr Men collection includes 50 books in the series – old favourites and new additions too. The new book Mr Nobody is included in the set too. While the price of £30 is still quite high, this is a great investment for your kids, especially if you don’t own the series yet.

And, if you use the voucher code BOOKSAVE20 then you can get money off the deal, and the code UAR040 will get you free delivery until 28 Feb.

The Book People are selling this AWESOME The Very Hungry Caterpillar Finger Puppet Book for £3.99 instead of £9.99; fabulous.

• Click HERE to dash over to The Book People

Just because you and I know about the Very Hungry Caterpillar that doesn’t mean that EVERYONE does, and I feel it’s my social responsibility to make sure that no one slips through the net!

I also think it should be made law that every child in the land has at least one Very Hungry Caterpillar something from as early on in their lives as possible.

There’s just something about him and his story about eating and eating and eating until he’s a huge FAT caterpillar, wrapping himself up inside a cocoon and then emerging as a beautiful butterfly – it’s magic.

He was first published in 1969 – did you know that? – and not only is he an iconic story from MY childhood but in almost every childhood since.

I’ve yet to see, or hear of, a child who’s read The Very Hungry Caterpillar story, not poked their fingers through the holes and giggled at all the things he eats, then puts the book down and says, “I didn’t like that story, it’s a bit rubbish!”

This The Very Hungry Caterpillar Finger Puppet version of the original is the same in every way but with one FUN extra, that is pretty much guaranteed to have your child squealing and giggling with delight - there is a wriggly, green Very Hungry Caterpillar finger puppet to play with and add an extra dimension to the whole wonderful story.

Add this code at the checkout - UAR040 - and you'll get free delivery too.

• Click here to get reading with The Book People

I am a huge fan of the LeapFrog books and products. They are really well designed and utterly focused on helping kids to learn while having enormous quantities of fun. This particular series usually sells for £63.84 so you’re saving a whopping £53.85 on this deal.

These books are great for encouraging kids to read independently. The 16 different stories use fun children and animal characters to teach the readers simple but important messages. There are stories about recycling, handling your fears, and so forth.

Written and illustrated by some well-known names the series are gorgeous to look at and the stories actually fun to read.

• Click HERE to dash over to The Book People
  

*sings*….OHHHHHH who lives in a pineapple under the sea? (SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!)…Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! (SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!!)

Ok ok I’ll stop singing – but THAT is what I had to endure for 30 minutes in the car one year when I was one of the parent drivers for a school trip, I had my daughter and three of her friends in the car and OHHH did they love singing Spongebob; I think I’ve been scarred for life.

I love that Spongebob SquarePants’ best friend has such an ordinary name – no offence to any Patricks out there, but you know what I mean, he could have geen given a friend called Fanny Face Flannel or something, but no…it’s Patrick.

This 12-book Spongebob Square Pants book collection will make a great gift for anyone who loves the little square yellow dude, or has yet to discover him and his mad adventures.

The books are bright, colourful and full of Spongebob fun, they also come in their own special Spongebob Squarepants bag that looks like...SPONGEBOB; yippeee.

Oh, and one last thing, if you buy this Spongebob Squarepants book collection, The Book People will throw in a 2011 Zingzillas Annual for free.

They also make perfect party bag gifts and things to stash in the emergency present drawer as long as they are reasonably priced, which these six Nick Sharratt Activity Books are.

The six titles are: The Royles' Day Out, Pirate Fun, Once Upon a Time, Farmyard Fun, The Magic Mummy and At Home with the Royles.

The Little Red Tractor is a hero; The Book People are pretty heroic too, in my opinion, with their book deals - they're selling the eight books that make up this Little Red Tractor Book collection, complete with little rucksack to put them in, for £4.99 instead of the recommended price of £20.

• Click HERE to go to The Book People

I have such a love for books that I could happily write book deals for you a l l the time, they are just the most amazing things to give and to receive too.

Have you seen the Little Red Tractor programmes on TV?  If you haven't then you're missing out on a huge treat, my youngest has a bit of a thing for anything tractor, digger or JCB and he fel in love with the Little Red Tractor right from the very first episode.

Essentially, the Little Red Tractor is an old fashioned tractor who belongs to a nice farmer and his family. The rich Lord of the Manor has a posh, shiny, all-singing-all-dancing tractor that he likes to show off in.

The thing is something always goes wrong (which is quite funny) and the farmer with the Little Red Tractor have to come and save the day *girn*

I think it's pretty safe to assume that any child who becomes the proud owner of these eight Little Red Tractor books will enjoy listening to, and learning to read, them.

One more thing - if you enter code ZD533 into the promotions code box at the checkout, you'll get free delivery too.

A Peppa Pig Greeting Card set of 30 cards is now £4.99, instead of a rather incredible £19.99, at The Book People. With this 75% saving, each card will now cost you 17p.

• Greet everyone with Peppa Pig throughout the year

Have you ever found yourself on the way to a birthday party, gift in hand, and realised you don't have a card? You then stop off at any corner shop, and purchase a dismal card from their equally dismal variety, at extortionate rates, before heading on your way again, disgruntled and a little annoyed. Sound familiar?

Well, there's an easy solution, really. When deals like this come round, buy a stock of different cards that you keep in the cupboard for the next birthday, thank you, get well, or any other occasion you might need.

This Peppa Pig Greeting Card set has 30 cards, of which 18 are for birthdays, four are thank you cards, and there are eight blank cards for those one off and random occasions – like get well, come over for a play-date and so on.

Postage is £3.95, unless you buy for over £25.00, in which case use the promo code SAGASAVE for 10% off.
