Our Week 6 Winners

Before I announce our winners for this week, I just want to say that I only had 87 entries this time.  That's good for those who entered, as it gives them a better chance of winning.  However, I know we have LOTS MORE than 87 participating (the first week, we had WAY over 500 entries!)  There are only 4 more weeks to go - don't lose interest now - you're doing GREAT!

Also, to our past winners - if you are enjoying the book(s) you received and would like to write a book review or book report and submit it to me, I would be happy to share it here on the Splash blog.
*If you have not yet been a winner, you are still more than welcome to submit a book report to me for posting on the blog, if you are interested.  (We could even keep the blog open throughout the year for book report posting only.)

OK, now on to this week's winners.....

The winner of If You Were A Parrot from Sylvan-Dell is
SAM (age 5) who says
"My friend from church liked the Little House on the Prairie books.  She still has her set from when she was a girl.  My mama has read the first 2 to me and I really like them."

The winner of The Keystone Stables book and Destination Moon is
HANNAH (age 13) who says
"My grandmother’s favorite book when she was little was Pollyanna. She does not have this book anymore, and does not know where it went. I have read this book, and it is one of my favorites, too."

Ali (age 8) - "I was able to visit with BOTH of my 2 grandmas about what books they like to read.  My Grandma Jan shared that her favorite is The Three Little Kittens that lost their Mittens.  My mom found it for her a few years ago on Ebay and it is a special book for all of me and my cousins to read together now.  My other grandma grew up with a love for Literature books from the one room schoolhouse time period.  My great grandma loved books and it is a tradition to read out loud the original Boxcar Children book.  This book was read to my grandma, my mom heard it as a child, and now me and my siblings have a copy and enjoy reading it together.  A great legacy with us all.  Even my cousins are hearing the story from my aunt."

Jacob (age 9) - "My Grandmother's favorite book(s) as a child....were the Boxcar Kids series.  She liked them because her mother read them to her and she liked how the kids always stuck together when there was a problem.  She also liked how they had fun and a good attitude no matter what.  I have never read these books before, but  would love to read them because they sound interesting because of their friendship and special bond."

Jackson (7) - "My Grandfather's favorite book when he was a child was....Little Black Sambo.  He liked this book because he thought it was exciting to see if the little boy could make it home before the butter melted and what would happen if he didn't.  I have never read this book before, but I would like to read a book that old."

Adin (6) - "My Grandpa's book was The Little Engine That Could.  His favorite part was about Captain Small. His job was to give out the jobs to the trains. He doesn't have the book anymore. I don't have the book anymore. I don't know why we got rid of it. But, my favorite part was when the Little Engine could help the toys. We borrowed it from the library this week."

*Alot of other grandparents enjoyed Nancy Drew books, Bobbsey Twins books, Black Beauty, and the Call of the Wild
