As a mom there are some simple pleasures in life. A good cereal that your kids actually want to eat without dumping an entire bowl of sugar on it. When said cereal has a good book inside as a prize instead of a plastic toy that I am going to want to throw the first time the kids aren't looking. When said book is easy to get out of the box without having to dig through the cereal.
Cheerios has always been one of our favorite cereals, with or without milk, and right now with Cheerios Spoon Full of Stories Initiative you get one of five great children's books in each specially marked box and they will make a $300,000 financial donation to First Book, an award-winning national nonprofit that helps get books into the hands of children in need.
Good cereal, good books, and a good cause. You can't really beat that for breakfast in the morning!
Cheerios sent me a prize pack that included a box of Cheerios, all five of the books you will find in the specially marked Cheerios boxes and a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. They want to send you a prize pack too!
To enter to win, leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite book to read to children.
Want a second entry? Check out the books offered through the Cheerios Spoon Full of Stories and let me know which one you think will be your favorite.
(Ruby's favorite is Chaucer's First Winter by Stephen Krensky),
You have until 11:59 PM (CST) on Wednesday November 17, 2010 to enter to win. Winner will be chosen at random from all entries and announced on Thursday November 18th.
Cheerios, through My Blog Spark, sent me information about the Spoon Full of Stories Initiative and the prize pack mentioned in this post
Well, its gotta be the Bible. That the original of every good story in my humble opinion!

This is such a dumb choice, but it's "Are you My Mother" of Seuss-lore. I do voices with it, and even at 6, 8, and 11, they crack up and don't want anyone else reading it to them!
ReplyDeleteI think "No T Rex in the Library" is already a favorite of Ethan's, that would be my choice!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love "Duck on a Bike." some great illustrations.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing my kids would enjoy "No T Rex in the Library."

ReplyDeleteI think my son would love No T Rex in the Library, due to his current fascination with all things dinosaur!
ReplyDeleteThe favorite book for my kids is the night before Christmas by Robert Sabuda. He does the most incredible pop-up books, and even though my "kids" are now 16 and 17, they spend hours opening the pages and going back over each of the incredible cutout that Mr. Sabuda does, one by one.
