Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories Giveaway!

I’ve been meaning to post this giveaway for almost a month now!! Look for more giveaways to come, because I have a whole desk full of stuff!

Over the past seven years, Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories has given away more than 35 million children’s books by distributing them FREE inside cereal boxes and has donated nearly $3 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families.

In addition to encouraging children to read, Cheerios is looking for anyone interested in writing children’s books. Now in its third year, the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories New Author Contest is a way to encourage previously unpublished, up-and-coming children’s book authors and to continue to nurture a love of reading. Entries are being accepted March 16 through July 15, 2009 and will be judged on appropriate story and content for children ages 3-8, emotional connection, writing quality, uniqueness, and read-aloud potential. More details on the contest can be found at http://www.spoonfulsofstoriescontest.com/.

I was thrilled to get 4 of the cutest books distributed by Cheerios, courtesy of MyBlogSpark. I think our favorite was Duck For President, but we loved them all! Two of the books were written in both Spanish and English, so it gave us a mini-opportunity to learn some Spanish!

Best of all, I have another set of these 4 books to give away!
