Spotted on the last page of the latest catalogue, free books for kids, one book per week. 12 to collect

Eg Hush little possum- as seen in the picture

Could not find any info on the website, or during my man scan of the catalogue
So I don't know if there are strings attached
Mods please move to forums if inappropriate

    Bet its like their free drink bottle promotion so you have to spend something like $20-$30

    • ATTS on 19/02/2019 - 08:32

      can anyone confirm if you need to spend?

      • tebbybabes on 21/02/2019 - 08:55

        My current email has it clearly stated that no purchase is necessary

      Just grab one inside Big W. There's plenty of them around.

    Will I be able to get one if I act like a kid and throw tantrums in the store?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/02/2019 - 21:02

      Hahaha I guess they would ask you politely to leave the store.

      • BigLeviathan on 19/02/2019 - 00:21

        Or shown the timeout corner…

      You must live out west.

  • Thoogslebron on 18/02/2019 - 19:59

    Is it only in certain states? I’ve just checked online and I couldn’t find it in either catalogue online and I’m in nsw

    • b-radicool on 18/02/2019 - 21:16

      Might be the case.

      Can't see it in our catalogs here (WA), however @mat84 stated below that it was in his catalog starting 21 feb, and I can only see catalogs in WA for 14-27 feb, and 7-20 feb.

    Received the catalog starting Thursday 21st February today in the ACT . Yes the back page here has "Free books for kids. Story time is on us. One new book released weekly in store. *While stocks last". The book pictured is "Hush Little Possum - An Australian Lullaby".

  • sarahbrisbane on 19/02/2019 - 08:40

    What if I want to collect for the kid that will be birthed out of me in about 7 weeks……since there's no age limit on "kids" - we are all somebody's kid really!

    • ATTS on 20/02/2019 - 08:14

      does kid gotta be present to get the book?

      • nitmanit02 on 20/02/2019 - 10:55

        No, I actually called them today… no kids required

          that's not good
          how long before these end up on ebay then

            @docians: good point though… kids should be mandatory, else anybody can claim and sell online.. :(.

              @nitmanit02: I just hope that most people who claim these books are genuine
              and that books don't run out, and some children don't miss out

              also hoping that big W genuinely have a decent stock, rather than use this to encourage people to show up, and end up shopping anyway

              • nitmanit02 on 21/02/2019 - 10:38

                @docians: I guess better to go before office/work time, so that someone won't waste time in shopping :)
                I just collected my copy this morning…

  • adrianhughes1998 on 20/02/2019 - 14:00

    There was an Old Bloke who Swallowed a Chook

    available on YouTube for free as some aussie guy reading the book and flicking through the pages

  • nerdycat on 21/02/2019 - 08:14

    FYI: Top Ryde Big W (NSW) won’t let you take one unless you have a kid physically with you. My sister went to get one for my kid.

    Just walked in and got one of the stand, said thank you to the attendant and walked out.
    I have a kid but I was alone when I picked it up. The staff member asked how many kids I had in case I needed to more than one.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/02/2019 - 11:04

    It’s not a spine book as such, but a stapled small 10pg flip book.

    • superm86 on 21/02/2019 - 12:35

      yup - paper book. would last 5 minutes with my little one :)

  • Three on 21/02/2019 - 12:03

    In Townsville the old lady is standing in front of the stand giving everyone a lecture on you should have a kid with you to get one… told her I'b bring one next week and she gave me one. I'll mention facebook next week and see how I go. She had the manager there and was complaining to them as I walked in.

    • squaredonut on 21/02/2019 - 12:26

      My one asked, I said, they are at school.

  • xylarr on 21/02/2019 - 14:27

    What's with the trailing apostrophe? Children is already plural, so it should be children's.

    • docians on 21/02/2019 - 14:48

      fixed
      PS wasn't me that negged your comment
