From January 30 nationally as part of Big W’s Free Books program, an eight-part series of Wiggles books will be given away for free each week
The educational books aimed at growing toddlers and preschoolers, and authored by The Wiggles, cover topics including water, car and home safety, feelings, hygiene and more.
For the first time since the program launched, the books will also be available on BIG W’s YouTube channel, read by The Wiggles each week so people who don’t live near a store can access the program.
Books will be released weekly from all BIG W stores nationally on January 30 with no purchase necessary.
