Virtual Used Book Fair!
Are you looking to add some well-loved, animal-themed picture books to your home or classroom library? We are selling books that have been previously used in the AnimalTales book program for minimal cost! All the books are in fair to good condition.
The books have been grouped into packages based on their grade level, with each package containing three books (with the exception of a book on pet loss which is sold separately). Scroll down to see the packages available. There are limited quantities of each package. Package cost includes postage through Canada Post.
To help facilitate discussion and further understanding, the discussion questions and activities from past teacher’s guides have been added to our website for you to use with each book. Visit the Books with Animals section of our website to see the resource.
How 'Used' is 'Used'?
All the books have made their way through Alberta classrooms for a number of years so there is some wear and tear. Many of the books are in great condition, however, for the books with damage the majority of ‘damage’ is to the removable sleeves of the books or to the ends of the spine. Scroll through the photos on the left to see examples of the books in the worst condition.
Any damage to the books does not impact the overall feel or effectiveness of the story, and all books have all pages intact.
