I'm a teacher. The books get delivered in one box to the teacher so it's up to the teacher whether she sorts them in front of the kids. Just send a note to your child's teacher letting her know that you want to gift the books and prefer that your Lo not see them. I'm sure she'd understand.

@Jess1483: What do like about it? I hate to threadjack but LO just started at a school with Scholastic. I forgot to look at har first flyer.

@Corduroy: as a parent, I like it because the prices are great, they tend to have some solid choices (there's crap, too, but also good quality kids' books), and it's easy. We ordered some Mo Willem books this time that hardcover in store would be $12ish each, but the paper book Scholastic versions were maybe $12 for all three. The quality isn't the same, of course, but they'll last through my kiddos, and that's all I need!

As a teacher, I liked how excited kids got about the products (books!) I also think the rewards for teachers are pretty generous. I was able to order about $150 worth of stuff for our co-op using rewards from about $250 worth of kids' orders. Teachers spend so much of their own money on the classroom, I was excited that purchasing things I wanted anyway could help them get free stuff for the classroom instead.

I love Scholastic book orders. I've ordered twice since LO #1's been big enough for them. I think I spent about $60 or so and got something like 15-20 books in the bundles. There's a bunch of awarded books they offer cheaply too. Half of my son's book collection is from my mom's teacher stash which is largely Scholastic. 20 year old books are still fun to read to my 4 year old.

LO #1 brought them home and saw all of them, so no surprises there. I order not only for the quality of the books, but to support his classroom. I don't quite know how it works, but ordering is good for his classroom as well.

@Jess1483: Ohh, thank you for the insight in that. The next Scholastic order that comes around, I'll order again. Both of our kids love books, so a ton of books in our house is awesome by me.
