Children's Literature Contest

-
My very creative son, Jeremy,
made me coasters for Christmas
that he knew would put a smile on
my face each time I use them.

Now, I am going to allow
you to join in the fun
by guessing what children's books
the coasters represent.

Be the first to get all 5
correct without using Google
and you will win, either a 
picture book or one of the
professional books that I have
written for using Children's
Literature to teach 
reading and writing skills.
YOUR CHOICE.
I will mail the book
to the winner.
(USA winners only--Sorry!)

You must leave
your answers in the comment
section of this blog
(not on FaceBook).

Ready, Set, Go!

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5

A winner (along with the correct answers)
will be posted in the blog comments
of this post on Wednesday,
January 15th, 2014, so don't
forget to check back.

Ooooo! Number 3 is hard. I really don't have a clue, but I am going to throw out a complete guess of "The witch of Blackbird pond." That is not the cover of my very recently purchased copy of that book, but I am going to guess it anyway. If I am correct on number 3 I can tell you the rest of the titles. :-)

Jeremy did great on his gift giving!

Since we have a winner, I will post the answers early.
Busy Mom, I need your name and home address so I can send you a prize. You can either have CRASH BANG BOOM, or IF YOU GIVE A TEACHER A BOOK, or a Children's book of my choice. You can send your address to me through FB since I think we are friends there. I have narrowed you down to 2 former UHCL students who used to be Music Teachers but I'm not sure if I am correct.

#1 Make Way for Ducklings
#2 Where the Wild Things Are
#3 The Witch of Blackbird Pond
#4 Winnie the Pooh
#5 Charlotte's Web

And yes, Busy Mom, you have a great memory. Charlotte's Web is one of my favorite books. #3 The Witch of Blackbird Pond is also.

Thanks to all who played.

I'm just seeing this post for the 1st time but I recognized them all! Since I'm also a former UHCL student of yours that must say something about you as a teacher! I would love to have some like that for my library.

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...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?

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 .
