I no longer have any little ones, but I sure hope your contest does well! I'll be getting on my computer at home (at work now), so I'll try to list your contest on my site.

Awww! Sorry to hear about your kitty boy!

I LOVE SKIPITO!!! I found these books in board for dd a while ago and can't wait til we can buy the books with "normal" pages. LOL She's not a gentle girl.

Oh, btw...I have this book (bought a set with him as a toy "bandito") so, if I win, you can pass it along to someone else...I just had to comment when I saw the book! Those are definitely my FAV books! And...I should tell you, I'm having a giveaway too. Omg, did that just rhyme?! LOL! See? I do love those books. LOL

I believe that reading to children is one of the best things you can do. My 4 year old is always asking me to read to her. So new books are always such a treat. I also have a 7 year old who is asking for a gift card to Borders for Christmas so she can go and get some books to read.

Prizes like this are ones I truely love. Thanks.

It's an adorable little book. Reading is one of the best ways of connecting to my kids I've found. I'm a mom of two kids that both adore being read to. If I would read to them for an hour before bed or more, they'd happily sit and listen.

RainyPM said...

My sister told me the other day that I have to get this book, so I was really happy to see it on here.

Something about me is that a lot of embarrassing things have happened to me. One of the worst (but not the very worst) was when I was on a date with a guy riding around a lake on a boat. I had to leave early, so he pulled up to the dock for me to get out. I was trying to make a smooth exit, so I was waving and giving him one last flirty glance as I stepped backwards off the boat and... into the lake. :)
