At this time of year, your students may be thinking of chocolate bunnies and candy-filled eggs. But they’re not the only ones who deserve special treats: our surprise for you is a whole list of reading- and writing-related freebies. After all, you’re “some-bunny” who is “eggs-tra” special!
Plus, if you post a comment on our blog before midnight on Monday, April 12, you’ll be eligible for a random drawing to win another treat—a free box of assorted books from our favorite publishers. Just for fun, if you’re our winner and your post includes a springtime pun, I’ll include five extra books. Post your comment today; this prize is “eggs-actly” what you’ve been waiting for!

Thanks for all the ‘April Showers’ of freebies you provide for us–they always bring ‘May Flowers’ of inspiration!
Have an egg-cellent rest of the weekend!
Time to ‘hop’ to it and get those lesson plans done before the little ‘chicks’ come in tomorrow morning!

I’m a grandma, I teach piano and I write book reviews.
You have something here for everyone. I think it’s wonderful and I’m so pleased I found you online. Thanks so much for all the great ideas… so much to learn!
I had never heard of Bare Books before looking at this blog. I am going to investigate them more.
