Giveaway & Review: 5 New Chuggington Books from Scholastic [CLOSED]

At the end of 2010, we had the chance to review an interactive Chuggington Book that left us wishing there were more available.  Well, Scholastic Books came through for us and all the Chuggington fans out there.  In January of 2011, five new Chuggington Books became available.  These books range from a lift-the-flap board book to a Level 1 Reader.

Amongst the books we received were the following titles:  The Chugger Championship (soft-cover book), All Around Chuggington (a lift-the flaps board book), Welcome to Chuggington (board book), Let's Ride The Rails! (a Sticker Storybook), and Wilson and the Ice Cream Fair (a Level 1 Reader).


Even though these books are targeted towards preschoolers, many of them are meant to be read out loud to the child.  The stories were interesting enough so that our 7 year old son was happy to read them to his younger brother and sister.  Plus the full color graphics are extremely engaging to our preschoolers, even the one who usually does not like to sit still for books.  He sat for quite awhile looking through each book on his own.


I think everyone's favorite book of the bunch was The Chugger Championship.  It is a story about competition, fair play, friendship, and not to mention the excitement of a big race.  To learn more about these books, visit Scholastic.com .  These books range in price from $3.99 to $9.99, but you can look for introductory sale prices during January on the Scholastic website or in your Scholastic Book flyers.

Thank you to Chuggington for providing complimentary product samples for us to base this review upon and for providing additional products for our contest prize.
