November Giveaway: $115 Value of Childrens Books + The Read~Aloud Handbook

Lucky you, we are doing this giveaway again!  If you've been a reader of On The Lap for even a short amount of time, you probably truly know the love we have for The Read~Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease.  We were so excited last month when Jim sent us an autographed copy of his awesome book.  We think that every parent should be handed this book when they leave the hospital with their baby, it's that important.  It's almost as good as a "how to" guide for raising children that some of us desperately wish we had when we did leave the hospital with our precious bundles of sweetness.

Our October giveaway features this amazing book with the authors autograph and a pile of books to get you started.


Plus, you'll also receive an instant PDF download from on of our featured DIY Literacy Projects, by Neskita.

Printable Alphabet Flash Cards
Printable Numerical Flash Cards
So this giveaway includes:
An Autographed Copy of The Read~Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease
9 Picture Books
 The Tale of Jemima puddle-duck by Beatrix Potter

My favorite storybook from childhood is the original "Grimm brothers Fairy Tales." It's very hard to find them in original form anymore - most have been sanitized so much that the stories don't have any meaning anymore.
