Where specific sizes or quantities are listed, those are the specific sizes and quantities needed. Larger quantities make packing, distribution, and classroom storage difficult.
Note: The books used for the Read to Me! Book Club have specific titles dictated by the curriculum, which we purchase in bulk from the publishers at an incredibly discounted educator rate. We ask for monetary donations to cover those costs. |
