POP QUIZ
1. What is the worlds fastest animal?
2. What insect has ears on its knees?
3. How do you keep kids reading all summer long?
The answers to all of these questions can be found within the pages of three books by award-winning children’s author Steve Jenkins. Kohl’s is featuring “Actual Size,” “Biggest, Strongest, Fastest” and Caldecott-award-winning “What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?” along with coordinating plush toys for only $5 each at all Kohl’s stores and online at Kohls.com as part of the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program.
The books are available now through September 26 in Kohl’s stores and at Kohls.com.
Kohl’s sent us two of their books and their lizard stuffed animal, and my girls were so excited. We’ve read the books a few times and now they walk around repeating some of the facts they’ve learned. Their lizard is now a permanent “guest” in their play kitchen. I love it!
Through the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program, 100 percent of the net profit from sales of the Steve Jenkins books and plush toys benefits children’s health and education initiatives nationwide. Since the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program’s inception in 2000, Kohl’s has turned $5 merchandise into more than $126 million that has made a positive impact on the lives of children across the country.
- Great Gifts for Teachers – Instead of the typical “apple for the teacher,” why not give a gift they can share with their students again and again? Steve Jenkins books make great classroom gifts for teachers. Parents can feel good about giving these books because 100 percent of the net profits go to children’s health and education initiatives nationwide.
- Read it! See it! Learn it! – Get your budding scientists ready for a day of learning! Start the day by reading one of the Steve Jenkins books currently featured in the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program. Then make the lessons come alive with a trip to you local zoo or aquarium. Learning together is a great way to beat the dog days of summer and get ready for school.
- Affordable Gifts that Give Back – Kohl’s Cares for Kids® books and plush offer an incredible value to families looking to stretch their budgets. At just $5 each, the books “Actual Size,” “Biggest, Strongest, Fastest” and “What Do You Do With a Tail Like This?” by award-winning author Steven Jenkins and their coordinating plush toys are affordable and educational toys you can feel good about buying, since 100 percent of the net profits go to children’s health and education initiatives.
- Teachable Moments at Home – Parents who home school their kids can use Steve Jenkins books, now featured in the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program, to help spark an interest in science. After reading these books, parents can engage their children in activities such as going to the zoo or aquarium or even going on a bug hunt in the backyard to reinforce the fun facts they just read.
- Babysitters Club/Adventures in Babysitting – Baby sitters can build a “babysitter’s survival kit” with Steve Jenkins books and plush toys and buy themselves hours of quality entertainment for as little as $5! Plus they’ll feel good knowing that they don’t need spend a fortune to keep kids entertained.

I bought my son a Yertle stuffed animal from Kohls when they were doing Dr. Seuss books and dolls and it is my son’s absolute favorite doll. In fact, for the longest time, it was the only stuffed animal he liked. Now, a year and a half later, he still loves it and freaks out if any other kids try and play with his Yertle.
