Over the last few weeks I’ve received a couple of great children’s books, and I’m giving away copies of both of them this week.
ISN’T THAT FUN?
I do love me some great children’s books.
The first book I’m giving away is called Phooey, written and illustrated by Marc Rosenthal. This book is filled with wonderful, eclectic illustrations that manage to be fanciful and nostalgic and current all at the same time. In fact, I’ve even thought that I would love to frame some of the illustrations and use them in a nursery if I ever have another baby.
Despite the fact that I’m starting to give Sarah a run for her money.
Oh, I kid because I’m old.
Anyway.
What Alex loves about this book is that reading it requires his daddy to make all sorts of sound effects, and I don’t know if y’all know this, but four year-old little boys are slightly entertained by funny noises. In fact, funny noises rank only slightly below ice cream on the four year-old little boy list of BEST THINGS EVER, and yes, that observation is based on years and years of arduous research conducted in laboratories and hospitals and Other Places Where Smart People Decide Things.
You can’t argue with science, people.
And seriously? If you could hear how Alex giggles when his daddy reads him this book? You would run out and buy yourself a copy rightthissecond.
I have three copies to give away, and if you’d like a chance to win one of them, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I’ll close comments on Friday, November 23 and then use my BFF Random.org to select the winners.
And whatever you do, do not click here. Because you will start to play and then one of your kids will want to play and GOOD LUCK, SISTER, at tearing the two of you away from the computer.
Not that I’d know anything about that, of course.
Looks so cute!
Great Christmas gift for my peeps!
Oh me! I’m always up for new kid’s books! And my boy will be 4 one day.
we love books!
sign me up!!!
Cute! :)
I am a children’s book hound. I have books in a box in my attic that I won’t allow my child to have yet. I would let him read this one, of course, if I won it.
We love to read! Scholastic Book Club is our favorite club ever!!
I’d love this book for our toddler, even though she’s a girl. She loves the sound effects as well. AND (as if I needed another reason to win this book) our baby boy will be a toddler way before I want him to be one. And I’m sure he’ll enjoy the sound effects as well.
I’m a teacher and need more children’s books in my life!
OOOHHHH…I want to win! My little boy would have a great time with all of the sound effects! Have a wonderful day :)
Pick me…although that may be difficult b/c my comments are apparently invisible to the random generator! Hahahaha!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love kids books! This one sounds like a winner to me!
My little boy loves funny noises too!!!
We love books. Please count me in.
Oh my little man would LOVE this book!
Would love another book… :)
Ooh, me please!
OHHH, I would love to give that to my son for Christmas!
Count me in!
Ooooo, pick me, pick me!!
What’s that? Why, yes, I *was* a teacher’s pet, thankyouverymuch.
Valerie (who loves a good, well-illustrated children’s book and not necessarily for the children)
Sign me up! Yay!
Me too!!
That’s so cute. I’d love to win one!
My sister’s foster son, age 3 would love that book.
Hi Boomama,
If your little guys like silly books try “My little sister ate one hare” by Bill Grossman. My daughter had this book memorized in one weekend. I think I read it at least forty times over 2 days. It is a tad gross, so you might want to take a look at it yourself. But I just love it – although that may say more about me than my daughter :) She was 5 at the time.
Take care
Sounds like a fun book!
ooohoohooh! pick me! pick me!
Enter me please! :-)
Count me in, please! Thank you.
Please include me!
I’m sure my crazy-noise-loving four year old son would love this book! Thanks for offering!
Oh my, that looks like fun. Sign me up!
Count us in! We love to read.
Looks cute! Great giveaway!
Would love to add to our new collection.

This book sounds like too much fun! My boys are 20 and 22 and I’m starting to collect children’s books for my grandchildren (someday. . . after college and Law School)! I don’t think, though, that your BFF Random.org can actually see my comments! :(
Sign me up – I have an almost 3 yr old boy that would probably love it =)
Well of course I had to click “here”. I love the sound effects on the matching game. I too have a four year old boy and I think he and I would love this book.
Oh so fun! I’m in – I have a 4 year old girl… who’s a tom-boy so the silly sounds thing is right on! lol
Thanks!

Yummy. Haven’t seen that one yet. And I CAN NOT CLICK HERE, ’cause I’m home from work (teaching school) playing hookey to clean my house and make my bedroom a veritable oasis. . .and I have to set the timer to not over extend my computer time. Methinks I need to give up the computer for Thanksgiving. . .as soon as I read Pioneer Woman’s next entry of Black Heels to Tractor Wheels that is. . .and you post pictures of your decorated guest room and . . .I am a very, very sick puppy.
My son would love this book!
Sound effects?! Count us in!
Oh please please pick me!
Oh new books! Please pick me! I love books!
Count me in!!! We love books in this house.
I heard someone else recommend this book recently! And as far as sound effects – let’s just say that over the weekend we resorted to potty humor and inappropriate noises to get our 4.5 year to smile for pictures! :)
We have two boys and two girls who LOVE noises and ice cream and books!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for YOU! You are a bright spot in my day and each time I thank God for the gift of laughter through you. I pray for your things and stuff.
Love,
holly
My 2yo daughter loves books. Loves them. And gets really excited when I bring out a new one. So, please count me in. Thank you.
we love books!
Put my name in — I’d love that book for my nephew!
looks good.
Please pick me Mr. Random Head!!!!!!!!!!
I’d LOVE to win one of these! Thanks for the giveaway :)
I need more books. I don’t really, but I’d like this one. :-) You can never have too many books!
Phooey.
Just girls at our house, but we’d still enjoy this book!
HA!! What fun that game is… Thanks — I had nothing better to do today then play that silly game over and over again — I think I’ll pass it over to my kiddos now. Ãœ
You are the BOMB!!
I can’t wait to read that book… ;D
Oh Boo Mama,
I just printed some of yours and Big Mama’s archives and took them home to read to my husband…he didn’t totally understand my newfound blog obsession…but now he is a believer! We had such a nice time reading them! Great date night fodder!!!
Thanks!
ooo oooo I want one!!! Puhleeeeeaaaase!
would love to win one for my little man. thanks!
We love books! And we don’t have this one! Pick me! Pick me!
pick me, pick me! my 4 year old gets a HUGE kick out of his dad making crazy noises, too.
We LOVE books at our house!
The book sounds great! Count me in.
Might as well throw my name into the chaos.
Because I was an elementary librarian in a former life (B.C.), I really need to win this book. Thank you.
I’d love to win this book! Count me in.
We have a 5 year old boy and an almost 4 year old boy who love silly noises, too! This book would be a great addition to our growing library :)
Looks like fun! My 5-year old and 2-year old practically devour books so I’m always on the lookout for more.
We love to read. Please sign me up.
I sent you a great email about football in the South. It might hit a little close to home!
I love to visit you Boo. The post on painting and this one made me giggle and giggle!
Oh, and I’d love to win a book to pass along to the kiddos.
Blessings to you!
Lover of children’s books.
Books are a hit around here….Count us in!
Count me in…..
I think we’d love this one!
Love books! Really need to go into recovery, since nearly every conversation I have with a friend starts, “I just read this book….” Sign me up!
A book that requires sound effects? Oh, we need that book!
You are right…the game is hard to tear yourself away from, and I don’t have a kid in the office to blame!
Count us in! My son loves to read so this would definitely be a hit for us!
I am obviously NOT very obedient, and you are very insightful…I DID click on the link, and I DID play it, and my child DID see me and she DID have to play it too. And now I only have 1/2 hour left to get my work done, and I STILL have a few of your posts to catch up on from the weekend… ;-) I’d love to win that book!
Sounds good!
Please pick me!
We would love it at this hosue!
I heart books!
We love books around here…And I’ve heard through many people that this is a GREAT one! Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t have very many books for my daughter – would love to win this one!
We love good books around here!
That looks fabulous! Yay!

I remember my dad making goofy noises (and hillarious rude comments) when he’d read out loud to us as kids.
Yippee! I’m in.
We love new funny children;s books!!!!
we are in need of some new books for our library!
blessings,
k
Thanks so much Ms. Boo!
Chris
My boys are always down for books with good sound effects!
Leaving my comment before clicking. ‘Cause what we really need in this house is more books that don’t live in the library. Yah. Really.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Books are always a good thing!
Looks like a great book!
I love me some new books!
