I rarely buy new. I just do not have the room or money. Thriftbooks.com used book stores, library book sales etc.

However, last year, we had a Scholastic book fair at the school I work at and I was surprised how expensive they were. My SPED classroom received a stipend where the teacher allowed them to take home books and buy for the classroom. A few years ago, they would be able to buy 3 or 4 each. Last year, maybe 2.

My brother began reading the Harry Potter books to his daughter when she was 5yo and continued as they were published.

She was a December baby, so had to go to Transitional Kindergarden. Midway, she taught herself to read by Kindergarden and just kept going.

Brother discovered her reading ahead of him much to his afmuration and chagrin. Lol.
