Pudd'nhead Books offers all kinds of services and neat things for schools and teachers. For more information, please contact our children's book buyer Melissa Posten at Melissa@puddnheadbooks.com.
Educator Discount - we offer 20% off all books purchased for classroom use. This includes large school orders, as well.
In Store Book Fair Fundraisers - schools earn 20% of anything purchased during their in-store book fair. We offer an excellent hand-chosen selection not only of the current bestsellers and critical favorites, but the hidden gems and treasures that sometimes get forgotten. We also offer targeted personal recommendations and can order anything in print and your school will still receive the credit. There are many ways to customize a book fair, including in-school book talks for students and/or parents or in-store storytimes, and we can discuss them all with you.
Want an easy (and free) way to learn about the season's best books? Several times a year, Pudd'nhead hosts in-store Educator Night. These events include a presentation by Pudd'nhead staff on new and exciting books; time to shop (and the 20% off applies to ALL purchases on Educator Night); and individual assistance locating books on particular subjects as needed. We'll also have publisher promotional items to give away - posters, bookmarks, reading group guides, and advance reading copies of books.
Author Visits
When children's authors come to St. Louis for evening events, many are available for school visits during the day. These once in a lifetime opportunites for your students to meet with their favorite authors are available to the school for free as long as books are made available for purchase. Please talk to Melissa if you would like her to keep your school in mind for author visits.
