This giveaway is closed. Congrats to the winner listed below.



I have found some great new books from a fun, entertaining kids’ books publisher, Five Star Publications. They have books for all ages. Reading is so important and having fun books makes it even easier for kids to learn. With books like Rattlesnake Rules, Addie Slaughter: The Girl Who Met Geronimo, Cheery: The true adventure of a Chiricahau Leopard Frog, Shakespeare for Children: The Story of Romeo and Juliet, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War, The Student From Zombie Island. Fun, educational, and great reading will keep kids coming back for more.

Here is a little more about those particular books:

Rattlesnake Rules: Conrad demystifies the world of rattlesnakes and introduces children to such topics as who, when, and what rattlesnakes eat. He shows readers why rattlesnakes have rattles and what it means if you hear one. You will learn how the snakes’ forked tongues help them survive. The delightful and colorful illustrations of Nathaniel P. Jensen help bring the story alive. More info: http://www.fivestarpublications.com/book_detail.php?recordid=111

This captivatingly illustrated story takes you on a whirlwind trip through the rumor mill. A new kid is coming to school. Known only as Bust 'em Up Bill, it's not long before the other students have made up their minds what he must be like. Rumors based on fear begin flying around the school! With a nickname like Bust 'em Up Bill, he must have flaming red hair, yellow fangs, the claws of a dragon, and breath that can singe your hair! As the story progresses, the rumors grow wilder and wilder until (gulp!) Bust 'em Up Bill shows up at school. More info: http://www.fivestarpublications.com/book_detail.php?recordid=82

Studies show that kids who read at home with their parents are better readers. Sure your kid learns to read at school, but they learn so much more at home. The more that you read and read to them, the better start they will have. As a teacher I know how important it is to read, read, read.

We received the Cheery: The True Adventures of a Chiricahua Leopard Frog book to read. My son really enjoyed reading this together. The pictures are fun and informative. We learned about about Cheery, a rare frog, how he lives and what his life is like as an endangered frog.

I hope that you enjoy reading with your kids as much as I do. Books are a big part of our life. There are so many great ones out there, like Cheery: The True Adventures of a Chiricachua Leopard Frog, that I know you’ll find something your kids love.
