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.

I’d LOVE to win one of these! Thanks for the giveaway :)
I need more books. I don’t really, but I’d like this one. :-) You can never have too many books!
Phooey.
Just girls at our house, but we’d still enjoy this book!
HA!! What fun that game is… Thanks — I had nothing better to do today then play that silly game over and over again — I think I’ll pass it over to my kiddos now. Ü
You are the BOMB!!
I can’t wait to read that book… ;D
Oh Boo Mama,
I just printed some of yours and Big Mama’s archives and took them home to read to my husband…he didn’t totally understand my newfound blog obsession…but now he is a believer! We had such a nice time reading them! Great date night fodder!!!
Thanks!
ooo oooo I want one!!! Puhleeeeeaaaase!
would love to win one for my little man. thanks!
We love books! And we don’t have this one! Pick me! Pick me!
pick me, pick me! my 4 year old gets a HUGE kick out of his dad making crazy noises, too.
We LOVE books at our house!
The book sounds great! Count me in.
Might as well throw my name into the chaos.
Because I was an elementary librarian in a former life (B.C.), I really need to win this book. Thank you.
I’d love to win this book! Count me in.
We have a 5 year old boy and an almost 4 year old boy who love silly noises, too! This book would be a great addition to our growing library :)
Looks like fun! My 5-year old and 2-year old practically devour books so I’m always on the lookout for more.
We love to read. Please sign me up.
I sent you a great email about football in the South. It might hit a little close to home!
I love to visit you Boo. The post on painting and this one made me giggle and giggle!
Oh, and I’d love to win a book to pass along to the kiddos.
Blessings to you!
Lover of children’s books.
Books are a hit around here….Count us in!
Count me in…..
I think we’d love this one!
Love books! Really need to go into recovery, since nearly every conversation I have with a friend starts, “I just read this book….” Sign me up!
A book that requires sound effects? Oh, we need that book!
You are right…the game is hard to tear yourself away from, and I don’t have a kid in the office to blame!
Count us in! My son loves to read so this would definitely be a hit for us!
I am obviously NOT very obedient, and you are very insightful…I DID click on the link, and I DID play it, and my child DID see me and she DID have to play it too. And now I only have 1/2 hour left to get my work done, and I STILL have a few of your posts to catch up on from the weekend… ;-) I’d love to win that book!
Sounds good!
Please pick me!
We would love it at this hosue!
I heart books!
We love books around here…And I’ve heard through many people that this is a GREAT one! Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t have very many books for my daughter – would love to win this one!
We love good books around here!
That looks fabulous! Yay!

I remember my dad making goofy noises (and hillarious rude comments) when he’d read out loud to us as kids.
Yippee! I’m in.
We love new funny children;s books!!!!
we are in need of some new books for our library!
blessings,
k
Thanks so much Ms. Boo!
Chris
My boys are always down for books with good sound effects!
Leaving my comment before clicking. ‘Cause what we really need in this house is more books that don’t live in the library. Yah. Really.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Books are always a good thing!
Looks like a great book!
I love me some new books!
