Happy Haulidays from Chronicle Books Giveaway!



Chronicle Books is having their 2nd annual Happy Haulidays giveaway!  They are so generous giving up to $500 worth of their books for you, a friend and best of all, your favorite charity!

I had so much fun going through their books and chosing what I would pick.  I homeschool my 3 young children so it is so important that we have a good library to read from.  These are some of the books I would chose:

Eye-Popping 3-D Bugs by Barry Rothstein and Betsy Rothstein
Ivy & Bean Boxed Set by Annie Barrows
The Story of Snow by Mark Cassino with Jon Nelson, Ph.D
The Whitby Witches by Robin Jarvis
Vincent's Colors by Vincent Van Gogh, published by MoMA
The Nutcracker by Michael Hague
Over & Under the Snow by Kate Messner
One Love by Bob Marley
Twelve Dancing Princesses by Brigette Barrager
The World Almanac for Kids for Kindergarten, 1st & 2nd Grades (3 seperate books) by Molly Smith,Christine Economo and Lynn Brunelle
The First Christmas an Angel Came to Nazareth by Anthony Knott
Sylvia Long's Thumbelina by Sylvia Long

and I am sure there are many more!  This would be an awesome giveaway to win for the Holidays!  If I won I would choose Doernbecher's Children's Hospital as my charity.  I would love to give those children new books to read while they deal with their illness.  And remember, if I win I get to choose one lucky commenter on this post to receive the same haul of books!  Don't miss out on this one guys!

    My mom turned me into a reader and library fanatic from the time I was still in a stroller. Glad to see mom's promoting literacy. Hope you win. I don't have kids, but I would donate the books you chose to the library.

    Oh, The Nutcracker is one of my favorites. I read it to the girls every year and have used it for mystery reading at school.
