Wow! I can hardly believe that we are entering Week 8 of our Summer Reading Splash. That means that, after this week, there are only 2 more weeks to go! Can you believe how fast our time is flying by?
I have some great books to give away this week (and in the upcoming weeks), but first........
This week's question (from Ed Dunlop, author of The Terrestria Chronicles):
Have you ever thought about writing your own book? What would you write about? Would it be a book for children, teens, or adults?
Please DO NOT answer this question in the comment section. ALL answered must be emailed TO ME. Entries must be received by Friday, the 11th, at midnight. Winners will be announced on Saturday, the 12th. Please remember to put STORY or CHAPTER somewhere in your answer, so I know which set of books you'd like to win.
And now, for this week's giveaways:
For our younger readers, I have 2 great storybooks by Sleeping Bear Press (one of my very favorite publishers of children's books!)
Willow
Author Denise Brennan-Nelson, Rosemarie Brennan
Illustrator: Cyd Moore
Published by Sleeping Bear Press
Miss Hawthorn's room is neat and tidy, not a pencil or paintbrush is out of place. And that's how she likes it. And she likes trees that are colored green and apples that are painted red. Miss Hawthorn does not like things to be different or out of the ordinary.
Into Miss Hawthorn's classroom comes young Willow. She doesn't color inside the lines, she breaks crayons, and she sees pink trees and blue apples. What will Miss Hawthorn think?
Magical things can happen when your imagination is allowed to run wild, and for Miss Hawthorn the notion of what is art and what is possible is forever changed.
Willow is the first joint writing effort for sisters Denise Brennan-Nelson and Rosemarie Brennan. Denise's other Sleeping Bear Press books include Someday Is Not a Day of the Week and My Grandma Likes to Say. She lives in Howell, Michigan. Rosemarie Brennan juggles careers as a writing teacher and an author. She lives in Brighton, Michigan.
Cyd Moore studied graphic design and fine arts at the University of Georgia. Her work includes posters, billboards, books, newspaper and magazine articles, and cassette and CD covers. She is the illustrator of I Love You, Stinky Face and I Miss You, Stinky Face. She lives in Commerce, Michigan.
A Isn't for Fox: An Isn't Alphabet
Author Wendy Ulmer
Illustrator: Laura Knorr
Published by Sleeping Bear Press
Experts know that sometimes the best way to teach a child what something is is to teach him what it isn't. Educator Wendy Ulmer applies that principle in her jaunty, out-of-the-box alphabet A isn't for Fox: An Isn't Alphabet. Running through the alphabet, beginning readers are given a letter and then told what the letter topic isn't.
A isn't for box;
it isn't for fox.
A is for ants that
crawl over your socks.
Laura Knorr's colorful, engaging artwork perfectly captures the wit and whimsy behind the alphabet that isn't what it seems but is so much more!
