Great Monday Give: Chicken Soup with Rice

Last week was a whopper, here and on the home front. Plus, it's President's Day which means the little guy is home with me today, so I'll make this short and sweet and be back tomorrow with a new, non-Jack Kent review! Up for grabs today, Monday... the day that I give away a new or old copy of a vintage book from my personal collection... is a nice nearly-new hardcover copy of Sendak's Chicken Soup with Rice. I bought it for a $1 last week at a used book shop, and it's in excellent condition. To be entered to win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post between now and February 22, Sunday at midnight.

As for last week's Jack Kent grab bag give... the winner is Margaret Perry. Congrats and send me your info to webe(at)soon(dot)com, and I'll get the books out to you ASAP... That's it, and see you back here tomorrow.

  4. Oh I so want to win this one... Sendak is my absolutely favourite children's author and illustrator and his books are really hard to find in my country. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed all week...

  16. I have the whole Nutshell Library from when I was a little girl. Still some of my favorite books to read to the kids. They were so little and fun. I also still love listening to Carol King sing as Really Rosie. So classic! Please don't enter me into the drawing. I'd love someone who doesn't own this book to have a chance to enjoy it as much as we do.
