You may already know all about the periodic Kindle Big Deal, where Amazon offers a hundred or more bestselling and best-reviewed Kindle books at a deep discount for a limited time, but this month they’re doing something new: offering 20 kids’ Kindle books for just $1 each through 6/30/13.
The sale includes such beautiful picture book titles as:
Goldilocks And The Three Bears (4.5/5 stars)
Gennady Spirin has taken a favorite childhood tale and imbued it with charm, dressing his bears in Renaissance costumes and providing whimsical and charming furniture designed for their country dwelling.
Each spread—painted in watercolor, pen, and ink—brings renewed life to this endearing children’s classic in a way that only a master illustrator can. No wonder Goldilocks want to sample the bears’ porridge, sit on their chairs, and rest on their beds!
A Dog’s Life (4.5/5 stars)
From morning till night, a dog’s life is very busy.
He wakes people up. He welcomes visitors. He washes dishes. He keeps humans warm.
Without a dog around, how would a family get through the day?
This wonderfully endearing text by debut author Caroline Sherman is matched with adorable digital artwork by Donald Wu.
Give Up, Gecko! (4.5/5 stars)
“Elephant! Elephant! Heavy! Heavy! Heavy! Elephant! Elephant! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!”
Elephant was shouting and stomping. But could he stomp a hole deep enough to reach water for the thirsty animals? Maybe…maybe not.
All the animals tried until tiny Gecko Gecko takes a turn. He is small…but he is determined. And he’s not going to give up!
Kids will love to chant and stomp along to this Ugandan folktale.
Cars: Rushing! Honking! Zooming! (4.5/5 stars)
Cars go rushing up and down, through the country, through the town. Racing! Rushing! Honking! Squealing! Stopping! Starting! Turning! Wheeling!
All kinds of cars, from sedans to SUVs to station wagons, take people here, there, and everywhere.
Following the success of Trucks: Whizz! Zoom! Rumble! and Trains: Steaming! Pulling! Huffing!
Patricia Hubbell introduces the third installment to her popular series featuring “things that go!” Sean Addy and Megan Halsey portray a variety of cars using vibrant clip art, etchings, and original drawings, making this a perfect gift for children who love things that go!
