GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. NO MORE ENTRIES WILL BE ALLOWED. THE WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER THIS AFTERNOON…APRIL 21ST…THANK YOU!!

I was so excited when I was contacted by this lovely woman, Debbie, to do a review and giveaway on a BOOK!! Not anything to do with ADULTS and TOYS…if you know what I mean!!
So…I told her I would happily do a review of this beautiful book called Dinosaur by Little, Brown Publishing Company. And I sat by the mailbox…waiting for it.

First…I’ll share with you their description of this book:

because…you have GOT to check out this site!!

hereDINOSAUR offers young readers an in-depth, gripping journey back to a time when these prehistoric creatures ruled the Earth! Each stunning spread features different fascinating species and provides the facts and meticulously researched details that dinosaur fans want to know.

Complete with beautiful illustrations and a design that captures the feel of an old, weathered paleontologist’s journal, DINOSAUR will captivate the imagination of dinosaur buffs and curious dino experts in-the-making.

The book also includes a tri-fold timeline outlining the key historic ages, mini booklets with little known dinosaur facts, and a giant foldout poster that includes various life-size dino footprints (and our relative mini-scale human size), this is the definitive dinosaur book for budding paleontologists as well as fans of every age.

THIS…is an amazing book. It’s gorgeous. It’s meticulously detailed. And incredibly documented. This book is SURE to bring hours of enjoyment to kids…and adults…who are fans of all things dinosaur!!
My five year old…he isn’t that into dinosaurs so he checked it out. Thought it was super cool. And then went back to playing with his action figures. Typical for him.

So…I showed it to my 12 year old son. And my 11 year old son. And THEY LOVED IT!! They thought it was the coolest book. So…
I hid it. Because I didn’t want them to destroy all the fold outs. And tuck ins. And tri-folds.
Yeah…it’s THAT cool! And I don’t want it to get ruined.

Then…I took it out of hiding and…
I showed it to my 6 year old nephew. Who almost stole it. But…I tackled and tripped him and took the book out of his arms. I’m THAT kind of auntie!

Guess what?

They gave me books galore. To give away here…on Rock and Drool!! I mean…how cool is that?

    My children read alot. I have 4 boys, 2 of which have learning disabilites. They love reading, especially when it is something they are interested in. And fortunately, dinosaurs is one of their favorites. I’m glad you are having a contest like this. Thank you! 🙂
