GIVEAWAY # 2


This time I am giving away a copy of an Australian Classic. The best loved children's picture book Possum Magic by Mem Fox. 
I adore Mem. 
I have been to see many of her lectures about both teaching children to read and also the joy of writing for children. She rocks and so do her books. This was one of the many great Australian picture books I took with me when I taught overseas. It never failed to get a smile. I know you guys will love this picture book too!


TO ENTER
To enter simply leave a comment in the comments section and tell me the name of your fav picture book (or your kid's fav if you don't have one). Comp closes this Friday (USA time)


Join me on Friday to find out the winner and also for the last book giveaway. This time a book for us big people :) 

Book Giveaway

The First of Three Book Giveaways.


Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book, thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'


Yes. What indeed!


So, for the first of my book giveaways this week I am starting with a book that brought life to words early on for me. It is a classic, as you may have already guessed, and I have managed to find it in a beautifully rereleased version as a chapter book for children 8-12 (though I must say, I could devour this book even now.) Yes, my first book to giveaway is Alice in Wonderland (chapter book edition) by Lewis Carrol. If you don't have this book in your bookshelves... well you should! Read for yourself or share with those special little people in your life. There is nothing nicer for little people than being lost down rabbit holes when snuggled up beside the big person you trust :)


For a chance to win a copy of the book: simply leave a comment in this comments section and tell me,  "what book opened to world of words for you?"


 I will chose one name from a hat randomly and announce the winner on Wednesday- when I giveaway the next book!


Thanks
And let me say a massive thank you to those who have supported my blog and continue to visit. Your comments are always welcome on my in box :) More than once I have been uplifted by something one of my amazing followers said in the comments section and I appreciate your voices being heard. Writing can be lonely. Thanks to you guys it is a lot less so.

PRIZES!

BOOK GIVEAWAY!


Hey all,
I have good news... and I have bad news... What do you want to start with? 


Bad news? 
Well, let's get it out of the way. I won't be posting much tonight 
(I know, I hear you all crying  :P ... Hey! Why aren't you crying? Fine! :) 
I have been single Mommy for almost two weeks as Matt is in Singapore for business. 
I am tired. 
Cyrus is two... Nuff said! 
Isaiah just started back at school (the Australian academic year starts end of January) 
AND.... well, I am tired.
So forgive the absence on your blogs. I will reform as of Monday because Matt is back tomorrow! YEAH!


Good news? 
I just passed 150 followers! YEAH ME! So next week I am doing a book giveaway on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I feel like some celebrating! (and I kinda missed celebrating my 100th follower)


So I hope you will all join me then. And a massive thank you to those who have been visiting me anyway and leaving comments. I have been reading them and smiling with you, especially the comments on my post 'The Land Of Two Year Old'... oh my!
Thank you all. 
I hope to catch you over the weekend. 
Luv Tab :)
