Free educational books for home-schooling

By Violet Plum

THIS OFFER HAS NOW EXPIRED

BUT IF YOU SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE COLOURING BOOK FOR FREE 😀

Listening to the Radio Sussex this morning it came to our attention that people are worried about home-educating their children while the schools are closed and we want to help.

So we’re giving away some copies of Honestly Books’ wonderful educational colouring book: Colour By Nutrients.

Colour By Nutrients is at once a resource for artistic indulgence and an educational tool. Divided into chapters of different vitamins and minerals, the book illustrates which foods contain significant amounts of each. The authors are happy for teachers and parents to photocopy the colouring pages for use in the classroom. All in all a delightful way to learn about nutrition.

This 120-page book is approximately 19 x 25 cm.

We have decided to give away as many as we can afford to home-educating families (one per household) – first come first served, while funds last. Just fill in the form below to order your copy now or, if you’d rather get the e-version and print the pages yourself, it’s free to download here: Colour By Nutrients pdf

We think that learning about good nutrition to build a strong immune system is more important than ever, so we’re thrilled to be able to do this. If you’d like to help with a donation to supply more books then please do get in touch 😀

Stay well. Stay clean. Stay compassionate ❤

The Second Giveaway: Luke Walker’s PRIVUT NOTEBOOK

By Violet Plum

Luke Walker (animal stick up for-er) is a very resourceful chap, so when he decided he needed a notebook to record all his outlaw activities, and he didn’t have any money to buy one, he just made use of an exercise book Mrs Tebbut gave him because he knew maths was a waste of time.

This notebook has very private, secret things in it but Luke is willing to share it with other veggietareun outlaws who join his secret sersiety. Every sersiety member should have one!

Each new member can add their name to the first page if they agree to the pledge.

There’s lots of important information in it,

including how to make a code-maker/code-breaker,

plus lots of empty space for other outlaws to make their own contributions. Luke’s lined it for you.

All secret coded messages can be written at the back of the book. Members will be able to decode it when they’ve made their own code-breaker.

We have two of Luke Walker’s notebooks to give away 😀 Let me know if you want one, the draw will be on Thursday. You’ve got two days: GO! 😉

Reflecto Girl’s Lost Notebook GIVEAWAY!!!

By Violet Plum

Miranda and I are off on holiday this week so we thought we’d leave you with this: 2 copies of Reflecto Girl’s Lost Notebook are up for grabs! 🙂

We have two of these cute little books to give away, (it’s only 14 x 18 cm), and if you want one all you have to do is tell me that you want to be entered into the draw 😀 But first of all, let me tell you a little bit about this notebook.

The thing is, it’s Renée’s, but she lost it. She left it on the bus when she was on her way to meet George in episode 5 and she was really worried about it because she’d written about all her Reflecto Girl adventures so far in it.

Luckily George reminded her that as long as her real name wasn’t in it (which it wasn’t, she’d made sure of that) it didn’t matter if anyone else learnt that Reflecto Girl was out there.

Renée was still a bit miffed that she’d lost the recipes she’d written in her notebook,

and the important websites she’d made a note of,

plus it was a really nice little book which was a Christmas present from a friend. But she couldn’t go to the bus depot lost property and claim it because that would reveal her identity to anyone who had read it.

So, there is this half-filled notebook (revealing the girl behind Reflecto Girl – her real life in her own words, an engrossing read 😉 ) with lots of empty space for someone else to write their journal, and/or shopping lists, and/or to do lists, and favourite websites, and favourite recipes, and fill with doodles and sketches of their own.

If you want it, let me know – two lucky winners will be pulled out of the hat next week 😀

See you then 😀

This Week’s Giveaway: Maddicts

By Violet Plum

This week’s giveaway is a copy of Maddicts and you’ve got until Friday to enter.

Maddicts is not for young children. We don’t recommend it for under 12s. It’s a vegan graphic novel; a dark satire; a piece of self-indulgent wishful thinking (on my part); it is humorous speculation about what might happen if the natural world fought back and all the animals simultaneously turned on their oppressors and escaped.

Of course you are free to read it in full here, but if you’d like your own copy, comment on this post and your name will be entered into Friday’s draw.

The clock is ticking my friends. Good luck 😀

And we have a winner!

By Violet Plum

It was tense and silent as we drew a name from the hat, and with hard-to-contain excitement we unfolded the paper. And the winner is ….

Congratulations Lira, you have won a copy of “Why are you a vegan?” and other wacky verse for kids. We hope you enjoy it 😀

Thank you to everyone who entered, and for those who weren’t lucky this time don’t be disheartened, it’s available on Amazon 🙂

Plus, there are going to be plenty more opportunities to win as there are many more giveaways to come.

Watch this space!

Funny rhymes with messages on vegan lifestyle, sounds difficult to combine but the authors have put a brilliant effort in creating this work. This is a book consisting of poems and picture stories. What is interesting about this book is,the drawings are hand drawn which makes this book a special one because children can actually connect to the drawings and the simple poems and learn in more than one way. Very beautiful illustrations and amazing writing.

A very sweet read. Would recommend it for every kid.

The Final Giveaway: How Many Friends Could A Bibbolybob Make If A Bibbolybob Came To Earth? THE LITTLE EDITION

November 23, 2015

By Violet Plum

The fourth and final of our Honestly Books giveaways is very similar to the first – How Many Friends Could A Bibbolybob Make If A Bibbolybob Came To Earth? – but it’s a little one! It turns out that this early learning title, by Edward Benn and Juliet Mahoney, has been so popular that Honestly Books decided to release a miniature second edition. Well it’s not that tiny – just about the size of a standard paperback – but it’s not as big as the great big first edition 😀

Anyway, let’s get to the point. Apart from it’s size, this has everything the first one had: a cute story with cute animal characters, a cute alien visitor and an introduction to numbers for little children. Look here for our review 🙂

If you would like to win a copy of this dainty little picture book, just comment on this post and you will be entered into Friday’s draw 🙂 It’s your last chance to win so good luck!

For those not lucky enough to win one of these lovely books, of course you can find them all on Amazon 🙂

Giveaway Number 3 Winner!

November 20, 2015

By Violet Plum

The lucky winner of our 3rd Honestly Books giveaway, What’s Good For The Goose Is Not Good For The Panda by Lavender Laine, is B Mackela

Congratulations Bill 🙂 Give us your address via our contact form on the About page and we will get the book to you as soon as possible.

There now remains only one more chance to win! The final book of our Honestly Books stash, the little Bibbolybob book, will go into the draw next week. Look out for Monday’s post to enter 😀

Giveaway Number 3: What’s Good For The Goose Is Not Good For The Panda

November 16, 2015

By Violet Plum

Our third Honestly Books giveaway is the unique What’s Good For The Goose Is Not Good For The Panda by Lavender Laine.

You can read our review of it here, but basically it follows the classic children’s story model in which the protagonist (Patty the panda) goes on a journey to find out about herself by trial and error.

It’s told completely in rhyme which is charming and the illustrations and text are all done in collage which is so different and fun and shows children that they can make art out of anything and encourages recycling.

The moral of the story is that we are all different and that what’s good for one is not necessarily good for another. This is undoubtedly why Laine dedicates the book to the Safer Medicines Trust which campaigns for an end to animal experiments on the grounds that all species are different and therefore results from animal tests cannot be relied upon for human medicines.

So if you’d like your own copy of this book just comment on this post to enter Friday’s prize draw. We will announce the winner on Friday morning. Good luck 😀

Giveaway Number 2: Colour By Nutrients

November 9, 2015

By Violet Plum

Colour By Nutrients, by August Bassett and Amy Fibbitts, is an ingenious way to teach children (and adults) about nutrition. Each nutrient has a chapter full of drawings of foods, which contain significant amounts of that vitamin or mineral, to colour in.

If you would like to win a copy of this, our second Honestly Books giveaway, just comment on this post and your name will be entered into Friday’s prize draw.

Good luck 😀

Giveaway Number 1: Wibbolywub and the Earthlings

November 3, 2015

By Violet Plum

How many friends could a Bibbolybob make if a Bibbolybob came to Earth? (aka Wibbolywub and the Earthlings) by Edward Benn and Juliet Mahoney, will be our first giveaway of the Honestly Books stash.

You can read our review of this lovely book here, but basically it is just a fun story, with happy, colourful illustrations, about an alien visitor to Earth – Wibbolywub the Bibbolybob – who makes ten different Earthling friends and plays some fun counting games with them. A great introduction to numbers 1 to 10 for early learners and a little insight into the differences between the Earthlings and their eating habits.

If you would like to win this beautiful book, comment on this post and tell me so 😀

We will put the names of all the entrants in a box and pull out the winner on Friday.

Good Luck 😉
