FAVORITE BOOK GIVEAWAY!!!

Reading is a VERY important part of our day around here. We read during the day, at naptime and before bed. My kids would rather read a good picture book than watch cartoons and I am more than happy to help them out. I love QUALITY books. Books that nurture the mind and soul. Not only is reading together good for my kids intellectual development, but it is great for their souls. We cuddle and get cozy and it is a great time for imagination and wonder. We can have a hard day and all is well when we are snuzzled up to a good book at the end of the day.

I am going to refrain from Blogging for an entire week so I thought I would do my own contest while I am gone.This is also a great way to DE-LURK!!!(Lurking is when you visit a site and don't comment)I know there are over 40 of you who check out my blog on a daily basis. So...please leave me a comment to let me know you were here and tell me your favorite book.

If you are not a blogger, just leave me your name so I can post it when you win!!! you don't have to give me your e-mail or anything.
I will do a random draw on Monday July 23rd and the prize is a children's book of my choice !!!!

If you are a blogger, Sign the Mr. Linky and mention my contest on your blog (I will check)...and make sure you tell me your favorite children's book.

I would like to know what your Favorite children's book is.
It can be one you remember as a child, one you read to your children or grandchildren, or a current favorite you are reading now.

We have to pick ONE favorite? I have waaaay more than one fave, but i'll keep it to just a few:
It Could Have Been Worse by A.H. Benjamin
The very Busy Spider by Eric Carle
M is for Maple by Melanie Rose and Mike Ulmer
ANYTHING by Robert Munsch
If you want the complete list, e-mail me, you can also e-mail me to tell me I won, but because I am very e-paranoid, if I do win, ask my baby sis (Alana) for my e-mail so I don't have to post it here!

Hi Alyson,
One of my favourites to read to the Grands is: Yoko by Rosemary Wells. It's about a little a little kitty who goes to school with her favourite food, Sushi while all of her school mates ate "regular" food. A delightful read.

And then one of Cameron's favourites when he used to sleepover at our house on Daycare Days, from the 20th Century Children's Book Treasury (a wonderful, wonderful collection for toddlers to the over fives), Goodnight Gorilla, by Peggy Rathmann.

Enjoy your week off!

I am all linked to the contest.

I could not pick just one book. I have so many I remember as a child and ones I read now to my nieces. I love children's books.

I recently posted a book review, so I'm going to go back, update that to promote the contest and include a link.

I've started doing a book review on my site every Friday, so I hope you'll stop by and see some of my other favs and WHY I like them so much:)

I have LOTS of favorite children's books, so it's hard to pick one. I think my all-time favorite keeps coming back to Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson.

Right now, my 2-year-old is "stuck" on My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza. It's one of my favorites too (although I liked it more a week ago before I'd read it twice a day for 10 days running :)

I know it's probably lame, but I love Green Eggs and Ham! I have a son named Sam, and I love reading it to him, though he doesn't like the part about not liking Sam-I-am.
