Discover the Small Press with the Big Heart and a Free Children’s Picture Book

Program for Schools That Need Your Help and Participation

Reagent Press, www.reagentpress.com, has donated books to schools every year since operations
began. In 2007, when Reagent Press started publishing children’s picture books, they launched an
official “Books For Schools” program, featuring Robert Stanek’s Bugville Critters. Last year,
Reagent Press and Robert Stanek donated about $25000 in books to schools across the U.S.
including schools in the Bronx N.Y., Puerto Rico, Guam, and an entire 2nd grade that had never
before had books of their own.

Seattle, WA, November 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Reagent Press, www.reagentpress.com, is pleased to
share The Bugville Critters with readers and hopes readers will in turn share these books with parents,
teachers, and anyone else who loves children's stories. Reagent Press has donated books to schools every
year since operations began. In 2007, when Reagent Press started publishing children's picture books,
they launched an official “Books For Schools” program, featuring Robert Stanek's Bugville Critters. Last
year, Reagent Press and Robert Stanek donated about $25000 in books to schools all across the U.S.
including schools in the Bronx N.Y., Puerto Rico, Guam, and an entire 2nd grade that had never before
had books of their own.

How does the program work? Reagent Press is giving away free copies of Bugville Critters books to any
Pre-K, K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade teachers who read the books in the classroom to their students as part of
story time or any other in-classroom reading activities. The Bugville Critters books are printed in
full-color on 70# archival quality paper and come in a variety of formats and sizes.

What are the books about? The author, Robert Stanek, wrote these books originally as bedtime stories for
his own children. The stories address the real issues and challenges children face as they start school,
make friends, and start to learn about the world around them. The stories provide real lessons about life,
friendship, family, our world, the natural world of which we are all a part, and our environment. With
global warming looming large in everyone's thoughts, has there ever been a better time to send positive
messages to our children about the importance of our natural world and the environment?

About the Books For Schools program, Robert Stanek said, “It's a good feeling to give, and letters from
kids and teachers really mean a lot.” Robert Stanek has received hundreds of letters from thankful
children over the years. Some of these letters are displayed online at www.bugvillecritters.com.

Robert Stanek added, “The 2010 - 2011 school year was to be the last year of the giveaway program, but
I'd like to try to keep it going but I need help. Also, we still have quite a few of this school year's
allocation on hand—much more than usual. My goal was to make this year the best year of the
giveaway program, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Everyone can help by telling others
about the program. Every participating classroom receives at least two premium edition Bugville Critters
books, and we often mail out at our expense free additional books in subsequent years.”

Any teacher who wants free copies simply needs to:

1. Send a letter stating they'd like free teacher's copies of Bugville Critters books and that they agree to
use the books in the classroom and to not resell them.

2. In the letter, include the teacher's name, classroom number, grade level taught, school name, school
telephone number with area code, school address, and principal's name.

East Olympia, WA
98540-0362

Every school that follows Steps 1 - 3 will be mailed at least 2 (two) premium edition Bugville Critters
books, which each have a retail price of $7.99 and higher. Many participating schools and classrooms
receive additional free copies as well in subsequent years, mailed out at no cost.

Pre-K, K and 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade teachers in schools across the U.S.A. also can participate in “Send a
Letter to Buster Bee” campaigns and get free books for their classrooms along the way. Any classroom
that has a “Send A Letter To Buster Bee” campaign will get two or more Bugville Critters books for their
class and can qualify to receive free copies of the complete Buster Bee and Lass Ladybug Adventure
series—all fifteen books. To qualify, simply send a sampling of letters from children who
participated in the campaign as well as letters from teachers and parents detailing how the books and the
“Send A Letter To Buster Bee” campaign helped children learn about reading and writing.

Please note that the number of books given away depends on sales of The Bugville Critters books and the
participation of teachers and schools. While not every school that participates will receive a free complete
15-book set, RP Books tries to ensure that every participating school is a winner in some way and may
give away individual free copies of other Bugville Critters books as well. RP Books / Reagent Press
reserves the right to change or cancel this giveaway at any time without notice. Valid only in the United
States. Void where restricted or otherwise prohibited by law.
