This year, Harry Kizirian Elementary School is partnering with Books on the Square to offer books at 30% off their regular price–just in time for the holidays. Order forms are going home with children this week. Parents will be able to choose from a list of books selected by the school librarian. They can send cash or checks to school with their children and they will receive the books before vacation begins.
The titles on this year’s list include the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid, as well as “read-a-likes” Big Nate, Fashion Kitty, and Danny Dragonbreath.




There are books especially for children who are learning to read and easy chapter books series for kids who just need practice. Most books are paperbacks that cost between $2.50 and $10.00, but there are a few big ticket items for parents who want to get their children something extra special, like a dragon pop-up book.
The order form lists the titles of all the available books, but if you want to know a little more about each book–and why it made the list–you can watch this slideshow, created by the school librarian.
