Read and Rhyme: A Giveaway! ‘Twas The Season of Advent: A Giveaway!

**Our winner is Jennifer Pierce! Congratulations! Check your email!**

I have mentioned before how much my children enjoy Glenys Nellist’s books and it’s time to get one of these fabulous titles into your hands. This giveaway is sponsored by the publisher, ZonderKidz, and is open to entrants living in the USA with a physical street address (not PO Box). We have a copy of Read and Rhyme: The First Christmas and a copy of ‘Twas The Season of Advent for one reader. All you need to do it comment here and you’ll be entered to win. (My very fancy random generator, a.k.a. my kids writing your names, dropping them in a bowl, dumping them on the floor, crumbling a dog biscuit among it all, and pulling the paper that my dog’s nose touches first in his quest for a cookie, will be working Tuesday night. Winner announced next Wednesday, November 22!)
