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.
