Woozles Announces an Exciting New Program
The Gift of Reading
There is nothing as heart-warming as seeing babies, toddlers, young children, teenagers, and adults fall in love with books. We believe the magic of reading is something that sustains and informs one in childhood and for one's whole life. What better gift to give someone than sending them a new book in the mail!
Imagine the sparkle in a young reader's eyes when they realize there's a parcel for them, then the delicious suspense as they open the wrapping, followed by a big smile because someone who loves them has sent a brand new book!!! And not only is there the joy of the moment, there is also the thrill of reading the new book and the satisfaction of adding it to one's growing library of wonderful books.
