Monday brings so many things. Like rain and The Great Monday Give, the part of the week when I pluck a title from the shelves to giveaway. I was lucky enough to find another hardcover, vintage copy of Lucille by Arnold Lobel for 50 cents (in great shape save a child's inscription in the front cover), so I'm passing it along to one lucky reader. All you have to do to be entered to win is comment on this post between now and Sunday night (September 26) at 11:59 PM. A winner will be selected using the highly-technical and patented "Blind Scroll and Point" method and announced the next morning.As for the winner of the mystery grab bag from two weeks ago... give it up for Ariel S. Winter, the author of the great blog We Too Were Children, Mr. Barrie where he highlights "adult" authors who've written children's books. Ariel writes about books far more highbrow than this, but I actually thought of him the other day when I saw Dean Koontz's Santa's Twin at a bookshop. **Shudder.** I'm sorry, but some books should just never see the light of day. Creepy. (I've never read it, of course, and am judging the book solely by its cover... book snob that I am. Tsk. Tsk.) Ariel, please send your shipping info to me at webe(at)soon(dot)com, and I'll see what I can come up with.
That's all for now. (Apologies to Mr. Koontz and the obviously talented Mr. Parks.)

What a fun book. My son would love it.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of Lucille! Thanks for your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis book caught my eye when you did a post about it last month. It looks delightful, and we'd love to own a copy.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope I win this! I've been wanting a copy of this childhood favorite for years.
ReplyDeleteMy son would love this one and I am collecting the old I can reads so I would love it too! LOL
ReplyDeletelove the new look of the blog!
ReplyDeleteWe would love this too. We got it from the library upon your recommendation, and had a hard time returning it. We also love Small Pig by Lobel about the same farmer. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, please. This book looks delightful and we are trying to find out more about horses.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this book to read to my girls.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers for a chance! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, an Arnold Lobel book I'd never heard of before. This is very exciting! Please count me in the drawing.

Love-love-love Lobel!
ReplyDeleteYou should check out Santa's Twin from the library - that is unless you want to risk a stocking full of toad snot courtesy the evil twin. ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh my Nan. I just laughed for five minutes straight. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteyes, please! lovely gift! thank you.
ReplyDeleteoooo....I'd love this one!
ReplyDeleteBurgin, just found your site - LOVE it! I hope to read Lucille, even if I don't win. I'll look for it. Have you ever read any of Angela Banner's little books, like Around the World With Ant and Bee? (I can't figure out how to underline in this message) Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at Drama class! Annie
ReplyDeleteI might love buying vintage books as much as you...And then I start to feel like a book hoarder but I can't help it! When I find a good one I always hope to pass it along to someone else when my shelves are full. Do you think it's okay to give used/vintage books to grade school children? Lucille looks like a sweet find!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy of this book! Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteArnold Lobel is such a favourite in our household. He's one of the authors we have in both Dutch and English because we can't get enough of him!
ReplyDeleteLove this one!
ReplyDeleteWe love Lobel! (And have not read Lucille)! Pick us!

ReplyDeleteWe don't have that one!! I'd love to be considered for the luck of the draw....

ReplyDeleteWhat a great book! I just found your blog and will most likely spend the rest of the night skimming through your previous posts, looking for great book ideas! I am obsessed with vintage children's books. My daughter would love to add this to her collection!
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd have found your contest sooner! This was my favorite book as a child and it's my daughter's favorite also. My daughter is now 16 years old and wants this book for Christmas to add to her book collection. I was online trying to find it.
