Get Excited about Excite Books!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
CONGRATULATIONS DONNA
!




Do you have a Netflix subscription? What do you love about it? I like the convenience of having all the movies I want to watch, delivered right to my door and the ease of mailing them back in prepaid postage envelopes. No more driving to Blockbuster or the like, no more paying late fees.


And what about library books - don't you wish you had the same type of service for that? Are you frequently returning your children's books late and racking up fees? Is it a pain, especially during this busy holiday season to have to take the time to drive to the library along with all your other errands to run?

Have I got the solution for you. Want a Netflix for kid’s books? Then Excite Books is your answer! And a bonus to this already sweet deal? You get to help other kids as well as your own because instead of mailing the books back to the company, after the 12th book is sent, a prepaid, preaddressed envelope is sent so you can mail as many of the gently used books from the service to a library in need, thereby sharing the love of reading with even more kids! Score!



“Excite Books is not your average book company,” explains Austin George, a commercial airline pilot, motivational speaker and founder of the online site. “We are members of the community who strive to add excitement and energy into your child’s reading activities. Through Excite Books, kids are an active participant in all phases of learning and development through responsibility, motivation and giving back to the community.”

The concept is simple. Order a monthly subscription online for one, two or three books to be shipped to a youngster. A teacher certified and age appropriate book (you chose INFANT, TODDLER, 1st - 5th GRADES, TEEN, COOK or PUZZLE BOOKS) is chosen and mailed at an affordable $4.99. Send two books a month at $9.99 or three books for $14.99. Shipping and handling is always the same low $4.95, no matter how big the package.



Excite Books (www.excitebooks.com) brings the thrill of receiving an unexpected package in the mail to emerging and established readers who can’t wait to sit down with a good book. After Excite Books has shipped a total of 12 books to one address, a prepaid / preaddressed envelope is mailed for a child to donate none, some, or all of his Excite Books to a library in need. Excite Books finds the libraries, arranges for the donations and spreads the joy of reading to a new group of youngsters.


In addition, Excite Books knows that kids who read also love to watch TV and has tapped Blake Michael, the 11- year-old host of Cartoon Network’s Fried Dynamite as its celebrity spokeskid. Blake appears on www.excitebooks.com wearing a large red exclamation point as an advocate for the excitement of reading books. He’s a passionate reader off camera who exudes the enthusiasm and excitement of reading and giving by kids to kids.

With its 100% “excitement guarantee,” this month-to-month service requires no commitments or contracts. The company is so confident your Excite Kid will love the action-packed books that it offers a money-back guarantee. As George adds, “even though your 401K might be worth only half of its value today compared to a month ago, spending $4.95 on a child this month will be worth its value in gold when you catch him getting excited about reading!”

You can try it yourself for FREE (only pay shipping of $4.95)!!! The introductory "Free Trial" includes 3 Excite Books, 1 Educational Activity, and 8 free gifts. Then watch your child collect reading completion stickers, one of many Excite Book gifts, on his very own Reading Progress Calendar. Other prizes include Kid's Pilot wings, a moveable propeller airplane glider and a personalized message from whoever places the order.


BONUS FOR MY READERS: get a bonus fourth book by entering in the Personalized Message field when you submit your order the words “4th Book Free” and then you can type your personalized note that will be included with your order for your child (they will remove the 4th Book Free words before they print the message!)

** WIN IT!! I have ONE of the "FREE TRIAL" packages to giveaway to one lucky reader. To win, head on over to Excite Books, and come back here and tell me the name of one of the books in the 2nd grade book category. Also tell me the age appropriate category you would pick if you win (infant, toddler, kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, or teen). Be sure to leave your email address if you do not have a blog or if it is not easily found on your blog. This giveaway is open until 11:59 p.m. EST, Friday, December 19, 2008. Good Luck!**



Bonus! Get up to 6 extra entries for a total of 7 entries (please leave a separate comment for each extra entry):

Be Mine, a Hannah Montana book is one of the 2nd grade books.

If we won we'd want the teen selection. My 'tween daughter would love that. She's a book lover like her mother (LOL).

Thanks for a great giveaway!
