    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Kristin and the Santa Secret - book giveaway

kristin and the santa secret.jpg
Christopher Fenoglio wrote Kristin and the Santa Secret based upon the way he and his wife Linda told their three children (Kristin, Connor and Tommy) about Santa Claus.

He has generously donated a book to be given away at MommyLife. Leave a comment and I'll draw Monday morning.

Love,

I would loveeeeeeeeeee to win this book!

I still believe! :)

I'd love to win this book-- I just looked it up on Amazon and it would be the perfect thing for my 5 and 8 year olds who are asking lots of questions about Santa. I give very ambiguous and mysterious answers!

I would love to see them still enjoying the magic and surprise of Christmas fun for many years to come...

I looked for this at my library and it's not there and on Amazon it says it's $10 for what they're calling a pamphlet - if I don't win it here - is it really worth $10? That seems like a lot of money for a pamphlet and yet I'd love a story that helps my daughter understand the Santa/Christmas/True Meaning connection.

This would be a great book for my favorite little ones. It's very nice for you to pass on a donated book to your bloggers.

Hi Barbara,

My oldest son is 9, almost 10, and I've been anxious about the day when he finally asks the big question, unsure of how best to deal with it. I struggled with the decision of whether to even do the whole Santa thing, as the experience of finding out the truth was difficult for me as a child. Thanks for the give away, and for introducing this book to all of your readers. I'm sure the sales for this book will be going way up this week!

Thanks again!
