  • Scholastic Book Fairs is like a mini travelling bookstore: it brings the latest and greatest children’s books right to your school.
  • Every book purchased at your Scholastic Book Fair helps put great new books and teachers’ resources in your students’ classrooms and your school’s library.
  • Scholastic Book Fairs are excellent for communities without a local bookstore. Browse the best of children’s books right at your school.
