I’ve ordered some clearance books from them before and sometimes the books that are marked down really low are marked with a black permanent marker. I was disappointed in this because at the time my girls were little and still putting books in their mouths. I tried to sand it off but it didn’t work. I think if you dig on the website about clearance books there might be a mention of books marked as such. Just a note in case you’re buying for your own young children or giving these as gifts.

We love book from booksamillion, great shop. As a single parent that was *less* than good with money throughout my youth, teaching children about money is CRUCIAL, in my mind. I’m not going to blame parents, schools, etc, but quite simply, I clearly “didn’t get it”, and I am still paying for those mistakes a decade later! And quite frankly, I hate the position I got myself in, everytime I pay off my past debts… I could have used my time/money sooooo much better.
A program was suggested to me by a friend, that teaches kids to be responsible with money, and puts them in control of their money. It’s a fun, interactive booklet + personal website that makes tracking their money fun – more importantly, the tugs on the pantleg going through the grocery checkout and the tantrums have all but disappeared! I guess that’s a little self centered of me… but any parent knows those situations all to well. For the record, I too used to do this to my parents, I was apparently horrible to bring into a store… oops!
If anyone is interested, the program is designed by KidsWealth: http://www.kidswealth.com (hope it’s OK to post URL, I put it in my comment description too).
