Be sure to enter when you have time (and of course - if you're a child, ask your parents first!). I won a book by J.D. Holiday called "The Spy Game." It's a lovely story about a little boy who wants a puppy, but instead gets an older dog. As he feeds and walks the dog, he gets to know and appreciate the uniqueness of his new friend - and he gets involved in a mystery, too! I hope you'll check out "The Spy Game."

Walker from HOME SCHOOL BOOK REVIEW calls The Great Snowball Escapade “a heart-warming story about the importance of understanding the problems of others and treating them as we would like to be treated…” http://homeschoolblogger.com/homeschoolbookreview/ From KidsRead, Book reviewer and librarian, Nancy Mossmore“…an entertaining read for emergent readers that includes a lesson about compassion and judging others. Because of that lesson, I would suggest that teachers in first through third grade use this as a read-aloud in class.” AND “…As a librarian, I would add this book to pathfinders about bullying and friendship…”http://kidsreads.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/the-great-snowball-escapade-book-giveaway-interview-with-author-jd-holiday/ From author Terri Forehand: “…This book is a story which includes characters who face a bully, make judgments without facts, and learn to get along together…” AND “…The characters are likeable and the theme is a common one among peers- learning to trust, get along, and compromise. Young readers will enjoy the story and leave with the satisfaction that all is not what it seems. I give the story a thumbs up…”http://terri-forehand.blogspot.com/2010/12/meet-jd-holiday-and-learn-about-her.html
