Kohl’s Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) reminds shoppers that “if
you give” a great gift, it can be affordable! Now through the end
of December, Kohl’s is offering the best-selling “If You Give..”
series by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Felicia Bond including
“If You Take A Mouse To The Movies,” “If You Give A Pig A Party,”
“If You Give A Cat A Cupcake,” and “If You Give A Moose A Muffin.”
The books and exclusive plush toys are available for just $5 each
at more than 1,000 Kohl’s stores nationwide and online at
Kohls.com.
The “If You Give…” books and the plush toys are the newest
offering from the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program. Through the
Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program, Kohl’s gives 100 percent of the net
profit from the sale of the books and plush toys to benefit
children’s health and education initiatives nationwide. Since the
program’s inception in 2000, Kohl’s has turned $5 merchandise into
more than $126 million to help make a positive difference in the
lives of children.
“We know our customers are looking for ways to stretch their
budgets now and during the upcoming holiday season. These cherished
children’s books and plush toys offer an incredible value at just
$5 each,” said Julie Gardner, executive vice president and chief
marketing officer of Kohl’s Department Stores. “What’s best about
our Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program is that you can feel good giving
these gifts because the net profit goes to children’s health and
education initiatives nationwide.”
“If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” was published in 1985 and
launched the “If You Give…” series, which have become children’s
favorites. The stories feature a comedic chain of events and use
playful language along with engaging illustrations that make them
an enjoyable read for both children and adults.
“I’m really excited to work with the Kohl’s Cares for Kids®
program. It is so rewarding to know that my books are making a
difference for children nationwide,” said Laura Numeroff.
“Mouse, Moose, Pig and Cat have brought so much joy to children
all over the world. I’m happy that the ‘If You Give…’ books are
part of the wonderful Kohl’s Cares for Kids® program!” said Felicia
Bond.
