"Graham Cracker Kid" & More on Kid Lit Giveaway Hop

Graham Cracker Kid & More picture book giveaways for Kid Lit Blog Hop

I'm very pleased to be donating 7 books (4 autographed) for The Kid Lit Giveaway Hop! It is open May 13 to 19th, 2013 in honor  of Children’s Book Week and hosted by Mother Daughter Book Reviews, Youth Literature Reviews and others. Over 90 children’s book or teen literature bloggers, authors, publishers, and publicists are giving away copies of fabulous books, gift cards, cash, or other prizes. What better way to celebrate Children’s Book Week than GIVEAWAYS! Here is what I am offering to a lucky winner in the US or Canada: 




Country Music Legend Tommy Overstreet 
7 No. 1 Hits, 26 Top Ten Singles

1. The Graham Cracker Kid and the Calico Girl, by the songwriting team, country music legend Tommy Overstreet and the late Dale G. Vest, is a touching and timeless story about two charming children in the Old West. The poetry is beautiful and endearing. This is a book to be treasured by generations of young folk but adults will enjoy it too. There is humor and suspense and a host of delightful characters that add joy and delight to every page rendered beautifully in oil on canvas by artist Jesse Anderson. (PreK to 2nd). eBook only $3.99.
 
2. The Fabulous Flying Flag Farm by Nancy Robinson Masters. (Ages 7-10.) Autographed. Ed Roy Odom was different. He kept squirmy things in his notebook. He put ketchup on everything he ate—even ice cream. He thought girls were dumb. Each time we said the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, Ed Roy would have the hiccups. On purpose. Nancy Robinson Masters is the author of over 40 books. A flag is included with this book.
 
3.  The Cotton Gin by Nancy Robinson Masters was published by Scholastic for Inventions That Shaped the World series. Autographed. Readers learn about the mechanics of the machine that Eli Whitney is often credited with creating and receive an overview of various models of the gin. Young readers will gain an appreciation for how new technology often affects history, economics, and society as they learn how the gin made removing seeds from cotton easier and faster - and the effects on the Southern plantations and the textile industry. (Elementary)


4. Extraordinary Patriots of the United States of America: Colonial Times to the Pre-Civil War by Nancy Robinson Masters. Daring! Defiant! Determined! Discover the extraordinary contributions of many well-known, little-known, and unknown American patriots who established a new nation unlike any other.

  4. To enhance reading this summer we are starting a program with our library to log our hours of read aloud. We are also starting story e-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-r-s... But that isn't just for summer, it just happened to be the best time for us to start!

  7. Fabulous post, Susan! I joined the link up but it doesn't display on my post as it does on yours...no list...just a link to click to be brought to the list...maybe I should just paste and copy the list...do you think that would work? I love any of the books you are giving away...fantastic!
    Helping kids keep reading during the summer is so important. I love the passport idea...help the kids make a passport, with many pages for their 'visa entry'...the theme can be books/characters/foods/crafts from around the world or fairy tales or any other topic they are interested in. Each 'visa entry' page can be used to write a short summary of the book, illustration, why they were happy to read it, etc. At the end of the summer, when the passport is filled, there can be a prize...trip to a local museum or zoo or some other fun adventure.

  9. We always fuel our little reading grandchildren with good books. We have a library room in our home with several cozy places to sit or curl up & get lost in a book. We also make lots of trips to the library & the bookstore to keep fresh reads on the shelves for them. We're going to try some group audio books this summer & I'm very excited about that!

  12. Thanks so much for your post in the Kid Lit Giveaway Hop AND the Kid Lit Blog Hop! My kids already read ALOT, but one thing I would like to do is have Sunday morning family reading time where we all cuddle up on the couch for at least an hour, each reading our own book. I feel good just thinking about it! Thanks for the giveaway.
