Anything that makes children enjoy reading gets our vote! <br /><br />If you'd like us to send you a free supply of kids' bookmarks to give away in your shop, just contact us via our website - www.readathon.org. <br /><br />The bookmarks promote Readathon, the national charity that runs sponsored reading schemes in schools all over the UK. The sponsorship money goes to help seriously ill children - which motivates the children to read even more!<br /><br />Best of luck with your new shop, anyway!Debbiehttp://www.readathon.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159946864890651879.post-76137023484916839912012-11-20T00:19:09.813+00:002012-11-20T00:19:09.813+00:00You had my hopes up there, especially when someone...You had my hopes up there, especially when someone mentioned north.
