It's Never Too Late to Read: Bedtime Books Giveaway

Two weeks ago, I mentioned that  Sleeping Bear Press donated three (3!) copies each of its Bear family bedtime stories: Say Daddy! and Goodnight Baby Bear. Well, imagine my surprise when those books were followed up with five (5!) copies each of R is for Rhyme: A Poetry Alphabet and S is for Story: A Writer's Alphabet.

We are celebrating Reading for the Next Generation at Jen Robinson's Book Page today, so it only seems fitting to have bedtime, rhyming and story books as our last giveaway. Three winners will receive a full set of the four picture books, which offer fiction and nonfiction content! The set is for you and your family to enjoy.
  • Say Daddy by Michael Shoulders (Ill. Teri Weidner)
  • Goodnight Baby Bear by Michael Shoulders (Ill. Teri Weidner)
  • R is for Rhyme: A Poetry Alphabet by Judy Young (Ill Victor Huhasz)
  • S is for Story: A Writer's Alphabet by Esther Hershenhorn (Ill. Zachary Pullen)
Two other winners will receive a set of the R is for Rhyme and S is for Story to be donated to their local library.

    Wow!! I am so amazed at all the literacy love around here!!! I would love to be included in the pool for this giveaway!! Thank you so much to Sleeping Bear Press for the opportunity!!

    I think the one thing that stands out to me so far has been the nonfiction book posts. They have opened my eyes and helped me to begin brainstorming new ideas to use this genre with my kids! I loved all the creativity involved to expand the kids' minds!! But, of course, I may change my mind! I haven't had a chance to go through everything today yet!!
