Over the last few weeks I’ve received a couple of great children’s books, and I’m giving away copies of both of them this week.
ISN’T THAT FUN?
I do love me some great children’s books.
The first book I’m giving away is called Phooey, written and illustrated by Marc Rosenthal. This book is filled with wonderful, eclectic illustrations that manage to be fanciful and nostalgic and current all at the same time. In fact, I’ve even thought that I would love to frame some of the illustrations and use them in a nursery if I ever have another baby.
Despite the fact that I’m starting to give Sarah a run for her money.
Oh, I kid because I’m old.
Anyway.
What Alex loves about this book is that reading it requires his daddy to make all sorts of sound effects, and I don’t know if y’all know this, but four year-old little boys are slightly entertained by funny noises. In fact, funny noises rank only slightly below ice cream on the four year-old little boy list of BEST THINGS EVER, and yes, that observation is based on years and years of arduous research conducted in laboratories and hospitals and Other Places Where Smart People Decide Things.
You can’t argue with science, people.
And seriously? If you could hear how Alex giggles when his daddy reads him this book? You would run out and buy yourself a copy rightthissecond.
I have three copies to give away, and if you’d like a chance to win one of them, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I’ll close comments on Friday, November 23 and then use my BFF Random.org to select the winners.
And whatever you do, do not click here. Because you will start to play and then one of your kids will want to play and GOOD LUCK, SISTER, at tearing the two of you away from the computer.
Not that I’d know anything about that, of course.

Looks so cute!
Great Christmas gift for my peeps!
Oh me! I’m always up for new kid’s books! And my boy will be 4 one day.
we love books!
sign me up!!!
Cute! :)
I am a children’s book hound. I have books in a box in my attic that I won’t allow my child to have yet. I would let him read this one, of course, if I won it.
We love to read! Scholastic Book Club is our favorite club ever!!
I’d love this book for our toddler, even though she’s a girl. She loves the sound effects as well. AND (as if I needed another reason to win this book) our baby boy will be a toddler way before I want him to be one. And I’m sure he’ll enjoy the sound effects as well.
I’m a teacher and need more children’s books in my life!
OOOHHHH…I want to win! My little boy would have a great time with all of the sound effects! Have a wonderful day :)
Pick me…although that may be difficult b/c my comments are apparently invisible to the random generator! Hahahaha!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love kids books! This one sounds like a winner to me!
My little boy loves funny noises too!!!
We love books. Please count me in.
Oh my little man would LOVE this book!
Would love another book… :)
Ooh, me please!
OHHH, I would love to give that to my son for Christmas!
Count me in!
Ooooo, pick me, pick me!!
What’s that? Why, yes, I *was* a teacher’s pet, thankyouverymuch.
Valerie (who loves a good, well-illustrated children’s book and not necessarily for the children)
Sign me up! Yay!
Me too!!
That’s so cute. I’d love to win one!
My sister’s foster son, age 3 would love that book.
Hi Boomama,
If your little guys like silly books try “My little sister ate one hare” by Bill Grossman. My daughter had this book memorized in one weekend. I think I read it at least forty times over 2 days. It is a tad gross, so you might want to take a look at it yourself. But I just love it – although that may say more about me than my daughter :) She was 5 at the time.
Take care
Sounds like a fun book!
ooohoohooh! pick me! pick me!
Enter me please! :-)
Count me in, please! Thank you.
Please include me!
I’m sure my crazy-noise-loving four year old son would love this book! Thanks for offering!
Oh my, that looks like fun. Sign me up!
Count us in! We love to read.
Looks cute! Great giveaway!
Would love to add to our new collection.

This book sounds like too much fun! My boys are 20 and 22 and I’m starting to collect children’s books for my grandchildren (someday. . . after college and Law School)! I don’t think, though, that your BFF Random.org can actually see my comments! :(
Sign me up – I have an almost 3 yr old boy that would probably love it =)
Well of course I had to click “here”. I love the sound effects on the matching game. I too have a four year old boy and I think he and I would love this book.
Oh so fun! I’m in – I have a 4 year old girl… who’s a tom-boy so the silly sounds thing is right on! lol
Thanks!

Yummy. Haven’t seen that one yet. And I CAN NOT CLICK HERE, ’cause I’m home from work (teaching school) playing hookey to clean my house and make my bedroom a veritable oasis. . .and I have to set the timer to not over extend my computer time. Methinks I need to give up the computer for Thanksgiving. . .as soon as I read Pioneer Woman’s next entry of Black Heels to Tractor Wheels that is. . .and you post pictures of your decorated guest room and . . .I am a very, very sick puppy.
My son would love this book!
Sound effects?! Count us in!
Oh please please pick me!
Oh new books! Please pick me! I love books!
Count me in!!! We love books in this house.
I heard someone else recommend this book recently! And as far as sound effects – let’s just say that over the weekend we resorted to potty humor and inappropriate noises to get our 4.5 year to smile for pictures! :)
We have two boys and two girls who LOVE noises and ice cream and books!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for YOU! You are a bright spot in my day and each time I thank God for the gift of laughter through you. I pray for your things and stuff.
Love,
holly
My 2yo daughter loves books. Loves them. And gets really excited when I bring out a new one. So, please count me in. Thank you.
we love books!
