I'm a purger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pare-down-the-books#post-2373161 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:09:00 +0000 lamariniere 2373161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just purged almost 20 of our babiest baby books. I sold them as a bundle on our local FB group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pare-down-the-books#post-2373097 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 13:28:52 +0000 looch 2373097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a little purge, I let my son pick which ones he wanted to donate and he brought them to his school. Initially he wanted to keep everything, but then I explained they would go to Miss BlahBlah's room and he was all about bringing them in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pare-down-the-books#post-2373024 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:58:29 +0000 pregnantbee 2373024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea! And we have the same problem. He can't read the words yet on the books geared more toward younger kids.....so has he really outgrown it? There are definitely some I wish I could make disappear, but he's so observant that I know he'll know they are missing. Will be following this thread in case anyone has a good suggestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pare-down-the-books#post-2373012 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:51:13 +0000 mediagirl 2373012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have WAY too many books. I have no idea how we ended up with so many. I would like to donate a bunch of them but how do I know which ones to pick? We have some for older kids, younger kids, etc. So far, I have a pile of books I don't like. I recently donated 2 Pooh books I couldn't stand. That pile does not include books she likes (I suffer through books I hate if she really likes them...)</p> <p>How do you decide what books to get rid of? </p>
