Great contest! Count me in. Off to tweet now..
This sounds like a wonderful book! We love connecting books to crafts or snack time, so this would be a great resource!
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/MommaStaciA/status/9662608709783552 Thanks!
I have requested our selector to buy this book for our library system – I think it will be a valuable resource for staff as well as parents and teachers!
I love the idea of building children’s self-esteem through developing competencies – it reinforces the fact that parents are their children’s first teachers and the notion that learning can be both fun and practical. Please include my name in the drawing.
Sounds excellent! My future students will ALL receive confidence building!
And I watch through Google
