'The Wonderful Things You Will Be' & Other Popular Kids' Books Are Prime Day Deals

by Cat Bowen and Kelly Hoover Greenway

Amazon is rolling out their huge Prime Day sales, and more than a few parents will be refreshing their page and looking for steals on everything from baby strollers to diaper bags. Personally, I will be looking for all of the Amazon Prime Day children's book sales to see which goodies I can nab for my littles.

I'm looking for deals on my kids' favorite authors, like Raina Telgemeier and Roshani Chokshi. I will also be hunting for board books for my brand new nephews, hoping for classics like We're Going On A Bear Hunt and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, because no childhood is complete without being able to recite both of those from memory.

Because hardcover children's books can become prohibitively expensive at times, Prime Day offers us a chance to buy books we might otherwise pass on, expanding our libraries, and contributing to the growth of our children's minds. Steep discounts are the norm on Prime Day, and in the past, I have purchased as many as three or four hardcover books for the normal price of one single story. Whether you're looking for old classics, or new and novel, there is sure to be something to suit your fancy.
