Book Pig: Netflix for kid’s books

October 12, 2010

I could not be more thrilled that this landed in my inbox last night. Savvy Source has partnered with BookPig.com to offer a special deal on their awesome service. Book Pig is a rental service for children’s books. Think Netflix for books. Each child in your family can have their own queue, and choose books based on recommendations by librarians, reading level, age and more.

My oldest is an avid reader. Case and point, we bought 4 books (over 300 pages each) and in less than 48 hours he has completed two!

While I do advocate using the library, we have had a lot of issues with fees, and losing books resulting in spending way too much on “donations” to the library. The girls use the library at their school and I can’t tell you the number of notices we’ve received about lost books.

About BookPig

The service has various rates based on the number of books you rent. Prices start at $11.95/month for 5 books and go up to 18 books for $32.95/month.

BookPig sounds totally hassle-free. Books are delivered right to your door with no shipping fees, return fees or late fees.

The deal is a lot like Groupon, there is a required amount of purchases that need to be made for the deal to happen. You pay $19 for a $50 value! That’s over 60% off!

Sign up for the offer here on Savvy Source.

    And when your kids lose these books? There may be no late fees but problems must occur if you don’t send back any of the books. And it sounds like your library troubles are paying for lost books. So I can’t imagine you still aren’t going to have troubles.
