Re: retailer of oversized children's books (4 replies)

Hi Verena,
 
We just purchased a new batch of big books. Some I purchased from
Amazon, others from Regent, depending on price, availability and
discount.

Verena,
We have not purchased these recently, but we have purchased from
Scholastic in the past.

Scholastic sells "Big Book Boxes" that contain sets of 20 or 40 big
books:

The Wright Group (now owned by McGraw Hill) also produces big books but
they appear to be packaged in a kit with other related teacher
resources:

Verena~
 
I have purchased big books before but the only place I have been able to
get them so far is from Scholastic.  Hope this helps!

We have purchased big books from Baker and Taylor in the past.  I
believe Ingram also carries them.

Subject:  retailer of oversized children's books

Hello colleagues-

I've been asked to purchase several "big books"-oversized versions of
children's books to be used in shared reading.  Do any of you know of a
good source for big book versions of elementary level materials/titles?
I've checked publishers' websites for the books in question, but I've
found only regular-sized versions available.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Verena
