Small press children's picture book publishers Xist (who've formerly supplied a Barnes & Noble Free Fridays selection) and KiteReaders (who've done multi-store freebies in the past), are offering a few promo seasonal holiday titles for the next few days.
NB: these will require a compatible Kindle device or app to read (the Kindle Cloud reader will do for all 4 of these).
KiteReaders are offering 2 Hallowe'en-themed titles in their KiteReaders Monsters series for just a couple of days, according to their newsletter which popped up earlier today.
Bye Bye, Boogeyman! by Donna Davies with illustrations by Rob Peters @
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK)
Does your child fear the creatures of night? Well, here’s a little girl who is up for a boogeyman fight! This rip-roaring fun story will transform any child who is spooked by monsters in the closet or under the bed into rulers of their rooms. After taking a few lessons from little LeAnne, they will never fear that nasty boogeyman again.
Eville, USA by Julia Dweck with illustrations by Fian Arroyo @
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK)
Have you ever wondered where monsters, zombies, and villains go on holiday? Once a year, they meet in a town called, Eville, U.S.A. You’ve never heard of it? Well, most humans haven’t. Being a monster is exhausting work. You spend long hours, plotting, planning, and lurking. Down in Eville, U.S.A., monsters of all shapes and sizes meet to take a break and relax. Join them on holiday. You’ll have a monstrously good time!
KiteReaders is still also offering online reading freebies of books-with-read-along-audio
in their webstore, including another Hallowe'en zombie title that was
featured previously.
Xist Publishing is offering 2 titles, probably for the next several days:
Words of Thanksgiving by Nancy Streza, which seems a bit on the faith-based side, but may simply be holiday "inspirational". YMMV. Anyway, currently free @
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK).
Wisdom from the ages collected in a single volume.
From the exultations of the Psalms, to the humility of Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day Address, from classic poems celebration the feast to heartfelt meditations on the nature of our place in the universe, this collection brings together a wide range of beloved texts, all designed to cultivate gratitude.
Used as a daily devotional during the month of November, as a repository of wisdom to share at the Thanksgiving table, or a year-long reminder of what it means to give thanks, this book is sure to help you reflect on the things you are thankful for.
My Good Dog by Katrina Streza with illustrations by Brenda Ponnay, a non-holiday humorous heartwarming animal tale currently free @
Amazon (available to Canadians & in the
UK).
Even the best dog can't do everything.
Here is a funny new beginning reader from the same pair that brought you MY CAT IS FAT and MY CAT, MY DOG. Starring The Dog--this book helps children build their reading skills while laughing the entire time.
Featuring full-color, full-screen images with Kindle tap-to-zoom text
