Cheerios is once again bringing books to the breakfast table, by providing six million children’s books free inside Cheerios boxes! Over the past eight years, Cheerios has given away more than 40 million children’s books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated $3.2 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families. The program is part of Cheerios’ ongoing commitment to helping parents provide their children with a healthy, nutritional and educational foundation.
This year’s book offerings from Cheerios – all by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing are:
Junkyard Fort, written by Jon Scieszka, and illustrated by David Shannon, Loren Long and Dave Gordon: Join Gabriella, Jack, Melvin, Ted, Lucy and the other Trucktown characters as they make their own fort, using things found in the junkyard. Ages 4-8.
Tea for Ruby, written by The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser: Wherever Ruby goes, a bit of disaster seems to follow. But one sunny morning, things change when the postman brings Ruby an amazing invitation: would she like to have tea with the Queen? Ruby needs to polish her manners, and quickly. Ages 4-8.
Sleepyhead, written by Karma Wilson and illustrated by John Segal: In this rhythmic bedtime story, a cat is the parent and a teddy bear is the child who doesn’t want to go to bed. All ready for bed with teeth brushed and story read, Sleepyhead teddy tries anything to prolong his bedtime; books and his quilt provide ample fodder for his imagination. Ages 3-7.
Ballyhoo Bay, written by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Derek Anderson: Mira Bella, an artist who teaches painting and sculpture, loves Ballyhoo Bay and what it offers: sun, sea, sand, and sky. But one gray day a billboard arrives, announcing an impending development that would take all the fun out of the place. Read along to see if Mira Bella and her art can save the day and Ballyhoo Bay! Ages 4–8.
What’s Under the Bed?, written and illustrated by Joe Fenton: Young Fred cannot stop worrying about the scary creature that might be hiding beneath his bed. Finally summoning the courage to peer under his bed, Fred, with his cumbersome glasses, sees that the only thing there is Ted, his friendly Teddy Bear! Ages 3–7.

We read every night before bed — each child picks out a book and we settle in together on the bed and snuggle and read. Then we do a good night song to top it all off

I do not have children of my own but have had the opportunity to babysit my niece many times. Her favorite book is Rainbow Fish and she likes me to read it to her and make the voices and all of that. Its so fun and she never gets sick of it.

I don't have kids, but I do have nephews and nieces. I love reading to them during the holidays. We have this book that is the Cajun Night Before Christmas that we read them every year. My hubby can talk with a Cajun accent and the kids love it.

Story time is about the same every night. Baths, pajamas, checking under the bed and closets and then cuddling with chosen book.

We read a book every night at bedtime. My 3 year picks the book.
Bedtime, just before tuck in time.
We have story time before bed, so we cuddle up with a blanket and take turns reading our favorites!
