Tidy Books Bookcase Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}

My family and I live in a tiny apartment. My son's room is technically a bedroom because it has a closet, but is more like an office because of its size. As my son has been getting older, he has been acquiring more and more stuff, books included. I have been stuffing a small side table with two shelves full of his books which was packed so tightly my son could not grab a book by himself. I knew it was time to get him an actual bookshelf, but needed one that wouldn't take up much space, could attach to the wall for his safety, and one that was an appropriate size for him to grab books and clean up after himself.

Tidy Books has created a kid's bookcase that is so genius!

The bookcases come in several different finishes:

Natural wood finish bookcase.
Pale rose finish bookcase.
Azure finish bookcase.

I chose the white finish bookcase.

The bookcase is required to be drilled in the wall at the top of the shelf and then stands at a slight slant. The bookshelf was fairly easy to put together and only took about 20 minutes. The book shelves hold several books with the cover facing out instead of the spine. This allows your child to choose a book based on pictures that they recognize instead of words that they do not.

Each shelf has part of the alphabet in fun colors that can be used for teaching. My son and I have been using his bookcase to learn letters already. He points to a letter, I say what the letter it is, and he repeats me. If your child is a little old for the alphabet on his/her bookcase, simply turn the alphabet panels around for a new look.

My son has absolutely loved having his new bookcase in his room. He picks out a book several times a day and brings it to me to read to him and I have even caught him "reading" books all by himself. Him being able to choose and grab books for himself has already really benefited our family and I have seen my son's love for books increase dramatically.

WIN IT!
