In 1996, Dolly Parton launched an exciting new effort to benefit the children of her home county in east Tennessee. Dolly wanted to foster a love of reading among her county's preschool children and their families. She wanted children to be excited about books and to feel the magic that books can create. Moreover, she could insure that every child would have books, regardless of their family's income.

So she decided to mail a brand new, age appropriate book each month to every child under 5 in her county. With the arrival of every child's first book, every child could now experience the joy of finding their very own book in the mail book. . .

This has now gone nationwide with the help of sponsors.

I Have Heard/READ About These From Several Websites....

We just moved away from an area that had this and I am SO BUMMED! This service is awesome. The only thing that was annoying was that since my son and daughter are a year apart, sometimes my son would get the same book that my daughter got a year before. But it only happened a few times. Plus, it's free, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much!

I Love this program. My 21/2 year old has already received 2 books. Moms you need to check into this one. It just requires sign up IF it is available in your area.

This is a great program. It is in conjunction with our Junior League. I signed my munchkin up for it awhile back and so far he has gotten 7 books. If I recall correctly, he will be getting one a month until the age of five.
