UPDATE: This Give-Away has now ended!
I have a fun new give-away for all of you:
Over the past seven years, Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories has given away more than 35 million children's books by distributing them FREE inside cereal boxes and has donated nearly $3 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families.
In addition to encouraging children to read, Cheerios is looking for anyone interested in writing children's books. Now in its third year, the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories New Author Contest is a way to encourage previously unpublished, up-and-coming children's book authors and to continue to nurture a love of reading. Entries are being accepted March 16 through July 15, 2009 and will be judged on appropriate story and content for children ages 3-8, emotional connection, writing quality, uniqueness, and read-aloud potential. More details on the contest can be found at http://www.spoonfulsofstoriescontest.com/.
I was excited to receive 4 copies of some of the adorable books distributed by Cheerios courtesy of My blog Spark! One of the books I received was actually the winner the first year the Author contest ran! The book title is “The Great Dog Wash.” This book is written in English and Spanish. My kiddos loved all 4 of the books and I loved all the great messages that went along with them.
Would you like to win a set of 4 books?!
Well, the good news is I have one Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories gift set to give-away to one of my lucky readers! You will get a copy of the "The Great Dog Wash" as well as three other books from the Spoonfuls library.
Wanna enter?
Just tell me one of your favorite childhood books, then just leave your name and contact info below. I will announce the lucky winner tomorrow, June 23rd at 6 p.m. EST.
My favorite childhood book by far is "The Giving Tree"! I love, love, love that book. Every time I read it that wonderful knot builds up in my throat and I usually can't help but cry... just a little, though... ok, maybe a little bit more then that!

My fav as a child was "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!"
I love the book titled "The Crippled Lamb" by Max Lucado. I cry everytime I read it to my kids.
My favorite children's book is "Hermie" by Max Lacudo. It's about a common caterpillar that turns into a beautiful butterfly. "This extraordinary tale teaches children that God has made each one of use unique, but most of all He wants us to be just like Jesus." My daughter had it memorized when she was 2 and would finish the sentences as I read aloud to her. lisawilsondavis@aol.com

My favorite is "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie". My contact information is matrix97@att.net. My boys absolutely enjoyed reading that book.
I agree with Tina! "The Monster at the End of this Book" starring lovable, furry-ol' Grover is a GREAT BOOK! My brother & I read that one all the time and he'd get all wigglely and excited, not able to sit still (FUN). My favorite was also The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe...that's a little older child's book... but is now one of my daughter's favorites (LOVED IT!) ALSO... my sister introduced me to another great book, ""I Love You, Stinky Face" by Lisa McCourt. It's about a mother telling her little boy how much she loves him and he tries to come up with things that would maybe not have her love him, like if he was a big scary ape, an alligator, a swamp creater or a smelly skunk named stinky face (hence the title) and she goes on as so how she would still love him anyway. Good story!
