  • Missed out on some as we don’t have a local Big W and people grab as many as they want, they’re usually gone that same day. Seen people selling them on eBay, so greedy.

  • the books are good – they are only half size to a standard book but its great you can purchase the bigger version at an affordable price if you need to.

  • Fantastic idea – so much better than Scrabble tiles and Squeezies or whatever they are called both of which will end up in land fill. Books will be kept and read for a long time.

  • Does this mean you have to go to a BigW store every week and have your child with you?
    People living in country areas will probably miss out because of long distance to get to their nearest one and the cost of fuel in some country areas.
