Bookaboo Share A Book Today Campaign
By 2011, 26,000 books had been donated to disadvantaged children across the UK on behalf of Bookaboo and the publishers and celebrities taking part.
In 2009, Bookaboo partnered with Booktrust and The Book People to enable 13,000 books to be distributed to under six-year-old children in care.
In 2011, Bookaboo partnered with The Pre School Learning Alliance and a further 13,000 books are being distributed to nurseries in areas of disadvantage in the UK. Many children attending these nurseries do not have any books in the home and will be able to borrow the donated books as well as enjoying them in the nursery. The books are also to be used in adult literacy classes held in some nurseries, enabling more parents to be able to share books with their children.
1000 books per episode will continue to be donated to children who need them most on behalf of Bookaboo.

Famous quotes containing the words share, book, today and/or campaign:
“A soul that is reluctant to share does not as a rule have much of its own. Miserliness is here a symptom of meagerness.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can’t fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
“To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called “men of letters,” by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
