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.
Yes please!
Haven’t started our children’s book collection yet, but need to get started (Baby on the way!) Too fun :)
Thanks, boomama! You’re the greatest ;-)
Ooooh, looks great. Sign me up! Thanks! :)

Are you a Mo Willems fan? He is my new favorite children’s author/illustrator. Check out Knuffle Bunny or one of the pigeon books.
Enjoy!
A teacher always needs more books!
Sweet! My 7 – almost 8 month old son already likes goofy noises so this would be right up his alley! And I just discovered he semi-destroyed one of his pop-up books already… yah.
Well since my little guy will be 4 in a month I guess this is definately something I need to get my hands on. If I don’t win it I’ll be forced to buy it!!!
Oh I have a 3 year boy who sounds perfect for this book. Thanks for doing this!
I think my kids would love this book!
We are a total ‘snuggle up and read a funny book’ kinda family…Always need more to add to our collection!

Oh sign me up! And I’m likely to go out and find those books should I not be so lucky as to be chosen from hundreds of people!
I’ve been working on my children’s book collection for a long time. I need to be all stocked up by the time I start teaching!
Since my kids are all older, I’m collecting grandbaby books. In anticipation, you know. Thanks for sharing!

Well, yeah. Here’s to my winning a cool book! thanks for the recommendation though. My Borders rewards card never seems to get tired of being used!

My husband thinks me insane…I love childrens’ books…order them often…OFTEN. Always looking for another good one.
Ah, B-Mama! You missed the boat! You should have made people list their kids favorite book or something! So, since you didn’t ask, I’ll still tell. CURIOUS GEORGE! She loves him. In fact, I’m printing invites to her big #4 bash next month with the monkey printed right on them.
Anyway, please o’ please enter us into your lovely book giveaway!
Books? Are you giving a way books? I am under the impression that you can never have too many books. My hubs would disagree, but who cares what he thinks? We love books at my house!
Those books look great!
Looks like a great book to share with my boys.
Pick me, pick me!
oh…I bet this would be a cute one to do with the kids!!
Sigh….trying again for oh random picker thingie to PICK ME!! I have a little boy who laughs at sound effects. Pick me!!
Thanks for the great give-aways.
I have 4 young daughters (3 are elementary age, 1 is a toddler), and we would all love a new book. Ok, honestly, the one-year old would try to eat it, tear the pages out, and then throw it in the toilet. But we would keep it safe from her (we’ve learned our lesson).
Oh, I need one!
My hubby reads every book with weird sound effects!
This looks great. And we love books around here. Count me in!
my two youngest are just starting to get interested in books one wants to eat it and the other to point out all the light bulbs and fans in the pictures. LOL! Count me in!
Gracias!
