Children's book Giveaway!

The vendors were not as generous this year at ALA as they have been in the past. Obviously, a sign of our current economy. I did score this adorable children's book. It is signed by the author (sorry, he signed it to me). He is the author and the illustrator and a very nice man to boot.


If you want it leave a comment that you do. I'll be picking the winner on Wednesday next week. I'm pretty sure I'll use some scientific random quantifiable method of picking the winner. Name out of a hat on a drunken Tuesday night usually works for me. Anyone got a problem with that?

Love,
M

PS: if you are from anywhere outside of the U.S. and Canada I'm going to have to disqualify you. The shipping would probably wipe me out. I'm really sorry but I blame the post office, the bad economy, my bank that won't credit millions of dollars into my account then graciously forget about it, and the fact that I haven't won the lottery even though I never buy a ticket. Shouldn't this be intuitive?

    Cute-looking book!

    You don't need to put my name in the hat - we have no small children right now, and the grandson that is due in early September won't be reading for at least six months. :P

    No! Mine! I feel this is owed to me! I didn't win the painting and had to pay the chili powder forward! AUGH!
    Stepping down from crazy...
    What a beautiful illustration on the cover. I would be charmed to have won this piece of literature and my daughter would be delighted to learn of it's contents within.

    Awww, a book signed to the famous librarian, sign me up! My kids love books, btw. We have somewhere in the 200 range and read a crapload of books daily. You'd be proud.

    Also, sign me up for the drunken drawing, I'll be hopped up on Vicodin next week (tomorrow is my reverse boob job) so what's a few beers gonna hurt?

    Hehe, those topiary birdies are just too darn cute! I vote for a drawing, drunken or not, wherein you dispatch to the winners house a hedge sculpting maestro to have his way with the shrubbery. With beer. Or maybe just the beer by itself. I'm not picky.

    Be sure and draw the name (hopefully mine) before you put the hat on your head. My grandson turns three in September. He really needs this book from his grandma who loves to read to him on the very rare occasions that she gets to see him. I would rather present it in person, but if I can't, he will certainly get it in the mail.

    Thank you,
