Scholastic Accused of Misusing Book Clubs  
Scholastic Inc., the children’s publisher of favorites like the Harry Potter, 
 Goosebumps and Clifford series, may be best known for its books, but a 
consumer  watchdog group accuses the company of using its classroom book clubs to 
push  video games, jewelry kits and toy cars. 
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, an advocacy group based in  
Boston, said that it had reviewed monthly fliers distributed by Scholastic last  
year and found that one-third of the items sold in these brochures were either 
 not books or books packaged with other items.
