OK, so enter me, since I think this might be the only way I get a copy of the book! (just kidding!)
Your description looks great. how did you post it on Mr. Linky at the Bloggy site? I wrote: Andi @ Circle C--horse book for kids and beanie baby. You have to give a short description, and then folks go based on that.
If you didn't do it that way, then go do it AGAIN. Nobody will know or care.
Nice job and I LOVE that lantern!

I had a hard time finding where to comment (dufus me) and I ended up leaving one on the wrong date entry.
So, please count only this one for the giveaway. My family loves reading and camping so this is a great combination. We only camp in the winter though (too many mosquitoes in the summer). The only problem is which child will end up with the lantern.

I have a young daughter who is an excellent, excited reader AND she loves camping with her dad. It never occurred to me to combine the two! She and her father have a great time camping. I bet I could get her to read to him in the tent also.
