Welcome to Scholastic.com

Bring families together while unleashing the imagination of your students!

Presented by Scholastic Book Fairs, the Klutz
Build-a-Book Party is a totally tested, totally fun in-school event where students and their families together turn a blank Klutz book and some simple craft materials into a priceless family treasure. It's a celebration of literacy, arts and crafts, and family togetherness. Using a glue stick and craft materials plus a blank wire-o bound Klutz book, families create a book (and a memory) they'll keep forever!

Benefits for school communities:
  • Increases family involvement and builds community
  • Nurtures creativity and promotes a love for books
  • Crosses any language barrier and learning level
  • Enriches any curriculum
  • Makes a great Classroom Wish List item
  • Supports your school

This is a great family activity that's fun, easy, and rewarding, and develops a love of reading that can last a lifetime. Read a success story from a Principal whose Klutz Build-a-Book Party helped "build" students' self-confidence!
