Kohl�s customers can ring in the new year with books from America�s
best loved master of rhyme, Dr. Seuss. Now through April, Kohl�s
stores nationwide will offer collector�s edition books from Dr.
Seuss along with corresponding plush for just $5 each through its
Kohl�s Cares for Kids� program. All net proceeds from purchases of
�Horton Hatches the Egg,� �Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories,�
�Hop on Pop� and �Fox in Socks� benefit children nationwide. Dr.
Seuss� rhythmic words and fanciful illustrations offer an
entertaining way to amuse children and encourage an early love of
reading. �Dr. Seuss stories are timeless favorites. For just $5,
books that were parents� favorites growing up can now be enjoyed
with their own children,� said Julie Gardner, executive vice
president and chief marketing officer of Kohl�s Department Stores.
�By purchasing Kohl�s Cares for Kids books and plush, customers
will create treasured memories while working to improve children�s
health and education nationwide.� Kohl�s donates 100 percent of
Kohl�s Cares for Kids net proceeds and sales; these Seuss books and
plush will add to the more than $85 million that has been raised
for children�s initiatives since the program�s inception in 2000.
More than 60 limited time offer books have been featured at Kohl�s
as part of this charitable program. In addition to the merchandise
program, Kohl�s Cares for Kids features fundraising gift cards for
schools and youth-serving organizations; the Kohl�s Kids Who Care�
