Now through the end of April, kids can enjoy classic stories from legendary children’s author and illustrator Eric Carle with his popular books: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (written by Bill Martin Jr), 10 Little Rubber Ducks, The Very Busy Spider and Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother, Too for just $5 each at Kohl’s. The books come with adorable coordinating plush toys that kids can cuddle up with while they read, which are also available for just $5 each.
These merchandise are being offered through the Kohl’s Cares® cause merchandise program to benefit children’s health and education initiatives nationwide. I love the fact that 100 percent of the net profit from the sale of these items is dedicated for this noble cause. For the past 10 years, the Kohl’s Cares program has raised more than $180 million, making a positive impact on the lives of children in communities nationwide.
My children and I love Eric Carle’s classic books. Our six year old Gabriel learned his basic numbers and colors quickly because of the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. We read it together many times since he was two years old until he could memorize and sing it like this. He loved it!
The books feature Eric Carle’s renowned characters and colorful illustrations. From the bold, contrasting colors to an array of animals, each book inspires imagination while taking the child on a path of discovery and visual delight.
“The Kohl’s Cares program is a wonderful way to encourage children to read and to help support programs that give back,” said Eric Carle. “I’m thrilled that my books will be included and I hope the pictures and stories will entertain, delight, comfort and soothe each child who reads and shares these books.”
