If you're a parent, then you will know how hard it is to find the best things for your children. Everyone has an opinion on what that best thing is, whether they think you should give them structure or let them work it out for themselves, if you should force them to eat their vegetables or be happy that they're eating anything, when you should toilet train them, when they should go to school, if you should give them everything that they want or explain to them why they cannot have it.
But one thing every child care person agrees upon is reading to your child. There are many positives to reading to your child, more that can be listed here. You will want to read to your child and give them the best leg up in life, but how do you do this when books nowadays are so expensive?
Yes, even children's books are taking a hit at the checkout, and book sellers are just increasing the price. Another option, though, is to beat them at their own game, and go where there are used books for sale. Used book stores often have a wide variety of children's books for sale. When children grow out of a book, their parents will give them to these stores so other children will know the same joy that their children did.
Used books for sale doesn't mean that they're bad books, or that they're broken or ripped, it means pre-loved, and pre-read, and it also means a great bargain for you. You can find some of these books for new at 'normal' book stores, and they will be double, sometimes triple the cost of the same book second hand.
Second hand children's books also means that you can get the books that are out of print now, so your child can read the same books that you did growing up.
