If I want to resell the books someday, I would want them to have their jackets. But I hate keeping them. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570818 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 14:10:51 +0000 Miss Ariel 2570818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This whole thread gives me anxiety! Ha! :silly: </p> <p>But dd is only 18 months and I keep all books except for board books out of reach currently. I feel like books aren't complete without dust jackets and hopefully that's something I can instill in her too..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570745 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:23:36 +0000 erinbaderin 2570745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also keeping them in the closet but this thread has made me wonder why - I'm going to go throw them out right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570739 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:17:41 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2570739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm keeping them on the top shelf of LO's closet for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570715 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 13:02:42 +0000 Mamaof2 2570715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>toss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570634 Mon, 20 Jun 2016 12:04:41 +0000 pregnantbee 2570634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take them off and save them.

If it's different I keep it in a stack in LO's closet. I don't really know why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570286 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 18:27:01 +0000 HappyBaker 2570286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I throw them away! I feel like we won't reach a point where we would be able to use them until they are much older, and by then the books they are on won't be ones they want to read anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570283 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 18:19:57 +0000 mrsrain 2570283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (2) removes them. I haven't decided if I should keep them or toss them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-books-dust-jackets#post-2570282 Sun, 19 Jun 2016 18:17:14 +0000 mediagirl 2570282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do with children's books dust jackets? They fall off of our books and I just end up taking them off. But now I have a stack of dust jackets. What do you do with them? </p>
