We love Scholastic, oh yes we do

November 26, 2007 | Contests

Are you ready for Want Not’s biggest contest so far? Are you ready for a shot at a prize worth nearly $180 that will make a child in your life happy for an entire year?

I have connections, my pretties. Yes I do. One of my connections is a devastatingly beautiful lady over at Scholastic who has decided to offer one lucky Want Not reader an entire year’s subscription to the Scholastic Kids Gift of the Month Club of the winner’s choosing.

Follow the link to read all about it, but basically you choose a club—there are themes and levels to suit kids of all ages—and get a pack of books and goodies each month. Choose from Baby Einstein, Nick Jr., Build-A-Bear, Ultimate Magic, or Veggie Tales. Twelve monthly deliveries of Scholastic goodness… if there’s something both mom and kids will enjoy more, I don’t know what it is.

Sound good? One winner will be chosen at random. To enter, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, November 27th, 2007. One comment per person, please. And might I suggest that the subject of your comment be how rockin’ the Scholastic folks are? Because they totally are.

Good luck! And… go!

  32. 32 Brigitte says:

    They DO rock - when I was a kid, we didn’t have much money, but mom let me always order stuff from the Arrow Book Club (part of Scholastic) when the lists came around the classroom, it was like Christmas every time!

    Though that was how I was exposed to H.P. Lovecraft in 4th grade . . . :-)

    As a librarian, I can attest that the folks at Scholastic are the best. Their support for libraries and media centers is unparalelled, and their selection of wonderful books just keeps getting better. My son would adore this surprise!

  58. 58 Midsummer Night says:

    We love the Scholastic books in our house as well!

  59. 59 Denise P. says:

  63. 63 peanut says:

    When I was young, my mom was the lady who sorted the books when the Scholastic order came in every month. I would sit at the kitchen table and breathe in the smell of new paper and ink as deeply as I could. Yay warm, fuzzy early reading memories!

  64. 64 Kari says:

    We love Scholastic in our house, too! My 5 year old daughter is an avid reader - when asked “what is your favorite thing to do?” She replies “reading!” Thanks pretty Mir for the opportunity to win this awesome gift!

  79. 79 Nancy says:

    Count me in!

  80. 80 Denise Altman says:

    Seriously great prize this time!
    Please pick us and feed our book addiction. I remember using my allowance on the order forms that were distributed in school when I was a kid. I have even managed to save some of the books I purchased (lets say over 20 years ago) to pass on to my kids. Now they are spending their chore money on books from Scholastic too!

  81. 81 Robin says:

    I just put in a Scholastic order at for my son at his nursery school. After 20 years teaching (and staying at home now) I was going through withdrawal!

  82. 82 Beachgal says:

  86. 86 Amanda says:

    Free books? Sign me up! We’ve got a kid who loves to read, with parents who are tired of the 50 books we have. Some new stories would be fantastic!

  102. 102 Kris says:

    Scholastic Rocks!

  103. 103 Becky J says:

    WOW..we love Scholastic! Thanks!

  104. 104 Grandma Bob says:

    I grew up in a family whose wealth didn’t extend to monetary matters. But somehow the folks always found a way for us to be able to pick out some scholastic books when the flyers came home from school. And now as I sort through the ancestral home I am finding some of those well loved and oft read books. My granddaughter and I read them together as I am in charge of carefully turning the fragile pages. While the pages may be brittle, the memories are quite strong and the respect for a company that made this possible continues to grow.

  105. 105 Jen says:

    4 kids, homeschooler, husband soon unemployed.

  106. 106 Diane says:

    Mir, What I love most about Scholastic is that I remember as a child ordering their books and loving the treat of getting a “brand new book all my own” and I can still pass on that joy and quality to my 4 little readers. Great contest!!

  107. 107 laura says:

    oh me!

  108. 108 Abbie says:

    We love Scholastic too. I have a one year old punk who LOVES to read. He could read all day, every day if his mother had the patients and the time!!! Thanks, Mir.

  109. 109 Em says:

    Comment comment!

  110. 110 Marci says:

    My little Stinkerbell is too little to read…but my dear stepson would love a steady flow of books.

  111. 111 Patricia says:

    Scholastic is rocking, that’s for sure! This is a great great idea!!!

  112. 112 Christina says:

    I loved getting the Scholastic fliers when I was in school. This would be a great package to win for my homeschooled son so he will also have happy memories of Scholastic. :)

  113. 113 Momsy says:

    Books? WOW!

  114. 114 NTE says:

    Wow.. count me in!

  115. 115 Janet says:

  118. 118 Heather says:

    Ooh, yeah, Scholastic! Pick me! Pick me!

    Thanks, Mir …

  119. 119 Pati :) says:

    As a former teacher you better bet I’m a fan of Scholastic. This would be an awesome gift for my little bookworm… please count us in! Thanks Mir!

  120. 120 cherylp says:

    Another Scholastic fan here! I grew up with Scholastic Book Orders (its probably what started my love of shopping and catalogs!!:)) and now as a 5th grade teacher in a low budget district, its how i subsidize my classroom library inexpensively. My class loves the new books that come each month, and now my son is starting to enjoy his first scholastic books as well. They’ve really got something for everyone! Thanks, Mir!

  121. 121 Monica says:

    We think Scholastic is awesome!

  122. 122 Susan says:

    Scholastic Rocks!

  123. 123 carmie says:

    Mmmmmmm…..booooooks. We love books, and Mir!

  124. 124 Mary says:

    yea yea. me too. Scholastic Rocks! COunt me in.

  125. 125 Sharon says:

    I love Scholastic- those fliers were something I always looked forward to as a kid!

  126. 126 Sock Girl says:

    Is the offer still good in Canada? Great contest!

  127. 127 Sabrina Denesha says:

    I love this gift! Books are the greatest gift ever! My daughter would be so thrilled to win this! I also overuse exclamation points! Who knew! Thanks!

  128. 128 txhorns says:

    Scholastic rocks! This would be an awesome gift for my little readers. Count me in!

  129. 129 Paige says:

    Books! Awesome!

  130. 130 Heather says:

    Oh holy cow! They do rock! We buy these gift packs occasionally from the kids school and they love them!

  131. 131 Katie says:

    We love Scholastic in our house, although I have never joined one of their clubs. Thanks for another contest Mir!

  132. 132 Jill says:

    I am a scholastic junkie. Those flyers that come home with my daughter from school are like crack for me. I guess this would be supporting my “habit”, but for free!!!!!

  133. 133 BabyLove77 says:

    Oh pretty, pretty Mir and the lovlies at Scholastic! My Young Reader would love a gift of your books!

  134. 134 elizabeth says:

    I work my buns off (I wish!) at our schools scholastic book sales, and of course buy many books through them too! My kids and I love Scholastic book offerings! I also have a dear friend who had her first children’s book published by Scholastic - Canada, so yeah - they ROCK!

  135. 135 Sue V. says:

    I have to admit when the kids come home from school with their Scholastic flyers it’s not just the kids that get excited. I have a soon to be two year old who would just love to get Baby Einstein every month. Thanks for the chance Mir!

  136. 136 Deputy's Wife says:

    This would be AWESOME!

    Thanks to you and Scholastic for offering it!

  137. 137 Wendy says:

    Scholastic is a favorite around these parts! I use books I got from Scholastic as a kid for MY kids… Pretty pretty Mir and devastatingly beautiful woman from Scholastic ROCK!

  138. 138 Jill says:

    And I just sent money with my daughter to school this am for the Scholastic Book Fair there. I’d take more, though. We love the Scholastic Books.

  139. 139 Barbara says:

    Oh please oh please super rocking cool Scholastic Book Club….Brady truly does like to “talk to tomatoes…” and I just know he and his sister, Molly would adore a visit from the Veggie Tales book fairy every month!

    Oh, and Mir (you pretty, pretty southern peach you) thanks so much for helping me with all my shopping this holiday!

    annie…but really Barbara

  140. 140 Saundra says:

    I have an 18 month old grand daughter who loves books and likes nothing better than someone reading to her. What a great gift this would be for her!

  141. 141 dallimomma says:

    My grandson would LOVE to receive this great Scholastic gift. Thanks for the giveaway.

  142. 142 lifeasamama says:

    daaaang! that’s a great deal! both of you must be beautiful!

  143. 143 steph says:

    I would like to win this.

  144. 144 Becca says:

    Scholastic? Woohoo! You can’t beat their great books and deals.

  145. 145 Summer says:

    Scholastic rocks! Hooray for books! Written words are wonderful!

    I’ve entered most of the contests here, but this is one I’d really, really like to win. Dorian is not yet five years old, but he’s a competent and voracious reader; he’s currently devouring the Magic School Bus series (published by, you guessed it, Scholastic) and it warms my nerdy mama heart to watch him sit and read to himself for an hour or more at a time.

    P.S. Mir, you are looking exceptionally pretty today. Dorian agrees.

  146. 146 Steph says:

    My newborn would love the Baby Einstein…Please pick me!

  147. 147 Mindy says:

    We love Scholastic at our house! Now that I homeschool my kids I miss getting the bookorders sent home every month!

  148. 148 Linda says:

    I can never bring myself to join those bookclubs for kids…particularly since my daughter is NOT wanting to read and is falling below grade level. This hurts me much because I LOVE reading. This would be an ideal thing for her - to get books regularly and learn to read them because she LIKES them.

  149. 149 Heather says:

    I LOVE SCHOLASTIC BOOKS!! The only downside of homeschooling is no scholastic book club (fortunatly have neighbors who let me order from thier’s - so the school still benifits and so do I!)

  150. 150 EverSoLoud says:

    Yep, we love Scholastic. How dinosaurs do things is a subject of intense interest at our house these days.

    Thanks!

  151. 151 Anne says:

    Pick me, pick me!!

  152. 152 Nichole says:

    Pick me! Pick me!

  153. 153 Grace says:

    My 4-year old daughter just discovered the joy of reading books by herself. She also loves checking out the mailbox to see if there is anything in it for her. The book club would be a wonderful way to put a smile on her face each month!

    Thanks for these neat contests!!

  154. 154 Jenni says:

    My daughter would LOVE to get new books every month for an entire year! Whenever she brings home the scholastic order form from school, she always has the clubs circled (as well as just about EVERY SINGLE BOOK). But yeah, we’ve bought some because the prices are just unbeatable, but we haven’t gone for a club yet.

  155. 155 Su says:

    Wouldn’t this be fun? We just had to cancel our kids’ subscriptions to the Stuart Brent Children’s Book Club for financial reasons. They’d love to get new books in the mail.

  156. 156 kajover says:

    Scholastic is great and so is this sight. It’s on my daily webrounds =)

  157. 157 Kelly says:

    Pick me! Pick ME!

    I used to love the scholastic book orders at school!

  158. 158 Kim says:

    My daughter loves to get things in the mail, and you can’t beat Scholastic’s stuff!

  159. 159 Mary Craig Puntney says:

    Veggie Tales, please oh pretty one!!!

  160. 160 Azul says:

    Me, Me! I was disturbingly excited when we received our first Scholastic book order from the Wee One’s preschool. It’s given my husband one more thing to tease me about, as if he were short on ammo.

  161. 161 christine says:

    Busy working from home mom of 5! (count ‘em) 5! Scholastic book loving kids would love to win. I love Want Not, I love Scholastic, I love the peace and quiet reading kids brings my home! Please pick us!

  162. 162 Candy says:

    we love scholastic here!

  163. 163 Jami says:

    I NEED this for my daughter. My husband is going to have a come apart if I don’t quit buying books-but my daughter loves them-and they are educational right?

  164. 164 Mallory says:

    I love Scholastic! They not only have Harry Potter (which, what more do you need?) but they give tons of free books to teachers for their classrooms, and always have a selection on their book orders for 99 cents or sometimes even 50 cents so that every kid can get something from the book order.

  165. 165 Angela says:

    We LOVE Scholastic. I got in on one of the deals you posted last year and we’ve been enjoying those books and CDs all year!
    Yay for Scholastic!

  166. 166 Joanne says:

    We LOVE all of your awesome deals, and Scholastic, too! Thanks for all you do for us!

  167. 167 Julie says:

    Oh dear…not sure how I’d choose between books for my 7yo, who reads everything in sight, and her 4yo sister, who just started reading sentences and makes me squee every time I listen to her. I guess I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it. ;)

  168. 168 Heidihohoho says:

    I would love this. We read every night that we don’t have a valid excuse not to, but my new valid excuse is lack of new books. I have been going to the library, but my husband gets grumpy when I rent books from the library (As they never go back on time). So, new books being delivered and not having to pay to take them back late sounds too good to be true!

  169. 169 Linda says:

    I wonder if this applies towards an aunt wanting to win this for a dear little nephew? Scholastic is the best! I remember their reading promotions from when I was eight, and I want to share that with my nephew Chris. He’s just learning to love reading, and what better present to give him?

    I’ll throw my hat into the ring!

We have four children (11, 9 and 6 year old boys and one lone 6 year old girl) that all love, love reading books and getting packages in the mail. Just last night I had to promise the youngest boy that I would read him two books right after school if he would just go to sleep right then and there.

    I will even send pictures of all the happiness this would create.

  188. 188 Carrie says:

  192. 192 Simply Sandy says:

  193. 193 Lauren says:

    :)

  194. 194 nani says:

  202. 202 Sara N. says:

    Thanks for all the great deals; I love your site.

  203. 203 Nicole says:

    Oh, pretty Mir! My eldest daughter is nearly the same age as yours, and we are having the same difficulty finding presents for her… please pick me!

  204. 204 CarolM says:

    This family of bookworms loves Scholastic! We order from both classrooms, every month. Some for boy kid, some for girl kid, some for mom, some for teachers… oh, the literary goodness! If we were to win this contest, the prizes would join many bretheren in a place of honor, and be loved for all time. :-)

    Carol

  205. 205 Andrea says:

    Oh, that is a great deal! We are big Scholastic customers here! My daughter keeps begging to join a club.

  206. 206 Lauren says:

    I remember getting Scholastic shipments at school when I was a kid. My teacher would pass out everyone else’s books (one or two for most kids) and then leave the box for me and my giant pile of books.

  207. 207 Sarah says:

    This is huge!!! My son would drool over the possibility of Nick Jr. presents every month for a year! You rock, Scholastic!!!

  208. 208 Homestead says:

    My son has taken to naming his books and sleeping with them…. great for him but a little hard on the books. The three he had in bed with him last night were Zanzee, Zuni & Jack. (Zanzee is a girl in case you were wondering….)

    Love you Mir…. pretty, pretty Mir.

  209. 209 Jessica P. says:

    I was a teacher for 6 years and LOVE scholastic! Now I’m at home with my 10 month old twins and another one on the way!! I would love to join the book club - they have awesome products!

  210. 210 Jennifer says:

    Mir, have I told you lately how pretty you are? And that woman at scholastic, too. You’re both gorgeous.

  211. 211 Rachel May says:

    Yay for Veggie Tales! And those Scholastic folks are downright gorgeous.

  212. 212 Jane says:

    Dear Pretty,Intelligent Mir,
    I hope I win.Thanks!

  213. 213 ChristieNY says:

    So pretty are the people at Scholastic and WantNot! My kids would LOVE this! :)

  214. 214 Kathy says:

    I just received over $50 worth of Scholastic books ordered through my daughter’s preschool. They’re wonderful! The company is wonderful! I love them! :-)

  215. 215 Lisa says:

    Oh, my. Scholastics is almost as pretty as you, Mir. Crossing my fingers and toes.

  216. 216 Jessalyn says:

    What a great contest! My 5, 4 and 3 year olds would love this! We absolutely love Scholastic. Every time we get the order forms from school, I spend days agonizing over which books to choose. We want them all!

  217. 217 Cassie says:

    My kids LoVe Scholastic!! ME too!!

  218. 218 Corey Bishop says:

    The most awesome part of Scholastic is heading down to the warehouse sale in Covington…straight down I-20, you Georgia transplant, you… and getting everything in the warehouse for half off! No kidding! Check the website! Of course, winning for free, even better!

  219. 219 Cheri says:

    Yay for books!

  220. 220 Julie says:

    I would love to win this… My nephew’s school library is in tough shape.

  221. 221 Laura says:

    The chances get slimmer and slimmer as more people discover your fabulous site (and your stunning prettiness…). But a girl’s gotta dream, right? My son LOVES books and LOVES mail — I can’t think of anything better to win for him.

  222. 222 Amy says:

    We LOVE Scholastic at our house! We are constantly ordering through my son’s school (he’s four years old and in junior kindergarten), and are avid book lovers in our house.

    We’d be delighted to be chosen as the winners of this contest!

    Keep up the great work, Scholastic, and Happy Holidays!!

  223. 223 Heather says:

    This would be a HUGE hit at our house!

  224. 224 Allanna says:

    My (almost) two-year-olds would LOVE to get more books.
    (Not like I’d be opposed, either. ^_^)

    And, in case you haven’t heard it enough, you’re oh-so-so-so pretty. And brilliant. And savvy.

  225. 225 Chili says:

    Oh wow. My inner book lover is salivating on the keyboard. My four year old appears to have inherited his mommy’s love of reading. Our ‘carrot’ to motivate and *ahem* encourage listening/rule-following is how many stories he gets at bedtime. Listen well and there will be four. Don’t listen and you get zero. (Oh the wailing when it’s a zero story bedtime…)

    I too remember the excitement of getting Scholastic flyers as a student, and begging my Mom to let me get more books. I find myself excited when my son brings home the Scholastic flyer now. We have a great time picking out which books we will order.

    Thank you Mir and lovely Scholastic lady. My heart beats with excitement at the thought of free Scholastic books every month!

  226. 226 Holly says:

    I would love to win this! Scholastic is wonderful and oh-so-many good deals can be found there!

  227. 227 Denise says:

    Oh! Scholastic!
    I have a love hate relationship with them. Cheap books at school but it feels like every other week my son is asking for $20 worth of books!
    Thanks Mir!

  228. 228 Nikki says:

    I love Scholastic and I would just love to give this as a Christmas gift.

    Thanks!

  229. 229 Lisa says:

    OOOoooo….I love scholastic book clubs. My two kiddos would get double the fun out of the great books!!

    Pick me, pick me! (okay, shameless begging to end now…)

  230. 230 Patti S says:

    I have fond memories of Scholastic books as a child and am enjoying passing the memories onto my children.

    Thanks Mir and thanks Scholastic.

  231. 231 mama speak says:

    OOOOooo…we lurve scholastic. While we probably don’t need anymore books in the house (the girls have hundreds!) I have trouble saying no when it comes to reading. The scholastic website has the BEST toddler games by far!!! It’s the one site I can leave the oldest one to play while I can get some things (go to the bathroom)done. (Nothing says happiness like peeing alone, trust me.) TMI? Ok, well pick me & I promise not to TMI you for at least a couple hours. ;-)

  232. 232 heidi says:

    Oh how I adore Scholastic. They are my heroes. In fact, we have a book fair this week! Yay!

  233. 233 Jo says:

    WE LOVE (SCHOLASTIC) BOOKS!! please pick me!

  234. 234 Country Mouse says:

    Wow, that is an exceptionally good offer for a contest. You rock, Scholastic folks! You rock, Mir!

  235. 235 Kristen says:

    Oh, I have ALWAYS loved Scholastic. Count me in!

  236. 236 jerri says:

    What an incredible contest - thanks Scholastic and Mir!

  237. 237 picklemommy says:

    There can NEVER NEVER be too many books in our house! And Scholastic rocks kid taste perfectly! Pick me, pick me!

  238. 238 Nicole says:

    The more, the merrier, and I am talking about books! My daughter and I are big Scholastic fans. So hope I can be the lucky one :)

  239. 239 Sheila says:

    Without you Scholastic, we’d be so blue (and probably illiterate)–

    Oh Scholastic, we love you!

    P.S. You, too, Mir!

  240. 240 Gennie says:

    Yay Scholastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’d love this.

  241. 241 Cindy says:

    What a great deal from Scholastic! Thanks for sharing it with us Mir.

  242. 242 KimberlyOR says:

    As a homeschooling mom of 6 we are big Scholastic fans here. We may even share the joy with our homeschool co-op of over 50 families!

    Thanks!

  243. 243 K says:

    We just got back from volunteering at our local school at the Scholastic Book fair! A few very generous local businesses donated enough money for all of the kids at our school to get a free book. It’s a very low income school so this is huge. I’ve never seen such happiness in one day!

    Don’t pick me, because I’ve already bought out Scholastic…and we are going back tomorrow again where I will no doubt buy more.

  244. 244 Jessica D says:

    Wow! Throwing my hat into the ring for a very, very pretty offer! My pre-schooler brought home a Scholastic pamphlet a couple of weeks ago, throwing me back to the time of marking that I wanted every single book on the list, plus POSTERS! Ohhhh, the times when I got to get a kitten/puppy/wiggly little thing poster … !! Thanks Mir. Jessica

  245. 245 Kim says:

    I remember loving the Scholastic book orders at school with all the white-hot passion a nerdy elementary bookworm could muster. Now, I have two kiddos of my own — to whom I must pass the mantle of bookwormship.

    Pick me! Pick me!

  246. 246 Keryn says:

    Oh, wow! Scholastic seriously rocks–I too loved loved LOVED their book orders way back in the day, and to be able to share this with my babes? Awesome.

  247. 247 Rachel says:

    We love Scholastic books, in fact I just placed an order this morning!

  248. 248 Heidi says:

    Pick me. Pretty please?

  249. 249 April says:

    I am a book fanatic and we often order through Scholastic! What wonderful people to offer such a great prize!!! I hope I win…and so do my kids!

  250. 250 Miriam says:

    Wow- lotsa comments…must be because those Scolastic people shore do ROCK!

  251. 251 Carolyn says:

    Scholastic Rocks! I would love to win this. I have 3 girls that would go nuts if we won.

  252. 252 Jamie says:

    Wow, so many sign-ups so far! Thanks for the opportunity!

  253. 253 Jessi Johnson says:

    My daughter just started kindergarten. I thought I was going to cry when she brought home her first scholastic book order. It brought me back to my elementary school days. Thanks for the wonderful memories. :)

  254. 254 Naomi says:

    What shall I say about Scholastic?
    How about the word FANTASTIC!

  255. 255 Alison says:

    We love Scholastic. Thanks for offering such a great giveaway!

  256. 256 Jessica says:
