What is Children’s Book Week?
“Established in 1919, Children’s Book Week is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country. Each year, books for young people and the joy of reading are feted for a full week with author and illustrator appearances, storytelling, parties, and other book-related events at schools, libraries, bookstores, museums, and homes from coast to coast!”
Celebrate & Promote Children’s Book Week by taking part in The Children’s Book Week Giveaway Hop.
If you are a writer and would rather receive a free proofread, up to 50 pages, and $10/50 pages thereafter, please say so in your comment and I’ll be happy to substitute. Authors have told me I find way more errors than the editor they hired. I’ve trained my brain not to fill in the missing words or to correct typos. I know all the rules, and I have a Chicago Manual of Style for everything else.
For US entrants, most of used children’s books up through YA are shown below. These are in no particular order other than how I could fit them on the shelves to take pictures.
If a thirteen-year-old Boy Scout fell into a lot of holes his dog Diggy had dug, would you rather the boy say “Diggy” when he was upset about other things or “crap” or what other word (can’t be a swear word)?
In the same comment, please tell me where you’re from so I know which options to offer if you win. Options (First 2 have $10 limit as previously explained):
INT: ebook(s) from Amazon or real book(s) to be shipped from Amazon or Book Depository
US: 1 hardback & as many paperbacks as I can ship for $10 or less. Saying which ones you like will save time if you win.
US/INT: proofreading
Before you go, please check out the other open giveaways. Just scroll back through the older posts. Don’t forget to comment! Thanks and see your next time.
I would rather him say Diggy. Thank you for the amazing giveaway! I am from the US and I am not sure what book I would want if I would win yet. Thanks again!
My kids would vote for crap but I would rather see Diggy used.
I’m from the US.
I would choose The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Not sure what else I could choose because I know that’s heavy.
Thank you for the giveaway!
I wouldn’t like my children using strong language, so I would probably prefer Diggy.
I live in Finland, Europe.
I would like to receive a book via Book Depository, but I am not sure yet which one, should I win 🙂 Thank you for the fun giveaway!
I’m in the US, but I’m not sure which one I would pick. So many choices!

Crap is more realistic
Very true, LOL! But I’m concerned whether parents would buy a book for their middle grade children with the stronger language. At that age, most kids don’t have much cash of their own. :<(
I would say Diggy.
Entering from the US.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
