Give Away

-
Many of you who read this blog love Children's Literature as much as I do.
This week I am having my first ever Blog Give Away--a copy of my first book
This book uses popular titles in children's literature to teach such reading skills as:
Main Idea, Setting, Cause and Effect, Prediction, Inference, Drawing Conclusions, and more. It is appropriate for use in Grades 1-8 and for homeschooling parents.
If you would like a chance to win , please do the following:
  • Make a comment on this blog telling me your favorite children's book (this gives you one chance to win)
  • Add your name as a follower of this blog (this gives you another chance to win)
  • If you are already a "follower" and you have never attached your picture, attach the picture (this gives you another chance to win)
  • If you are a "follower" and your picture is already on my blog and you make a comment, you automatically have 2 chances to win.
The deadline for entering the contest is midnight, Friday, June 4th.
I will randomly select the winner and announce the name. The winner can then send me their address and I will mail them their own copy of Crash, Bang, Boom: Exploring Literary Devices through Children's Literature.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Immediate family members are probably not eligible to win and I do in fact already own a copy but my most recent favorite young adult book (because I just finished reading it) is The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill.

love you! Kel

I think that right now my favorite children's book is I love you through and through. It was both Amy and Emily's favorite when they were smaller and I can't wait until Katelyn gets big enough to really enjoy it.
(I already have a copy of your book too, but I think this would make a great gift for a teacher next year.) :-)

Uh...how did I NOT know you had a book out???? Do you have more than ONE out? I told you my favorite one before... 'Tale of Tails.' But, we discovered an awesome book while we were in MN, it is called 'Snowmen at night' by Caralyn Buehner. We discovered this one at the library & I had to order it from Amazon because we loved it so much! You will enjoy this in Colorado too!

My favorite book to read to my boys was We're Very Good Friends, my Brother and I. Now seeing them as adults, I love watching them as friends as well as brothers. For Jordan, we are loving Carl books these days. We make it up differently every time!

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi

Swing High, Swing Low

Jeremy made me swings for under the deck and his boys are already enjoying them. This is Aaron's smile face. Caleb's smile face. Wee!  This is fun! Learning to hold on tight. Don't you just love his shoes? This boy loves Sesame Street characters as much as his brother loves super heroes.   Since Sweetie is here visiting, she got to enjoy the swings too.
