It’s Day 3 of the Children’s Writers’ Blog Chain, hosted by the National Writing for Children Center. Today, I’ll be giving away a copy of my Rookie Reader Shoelaces to one lucky winner who leaves a comment here. Actually, I’ll be drawing for all the prizes for the week next Monday, so look through every post here this week to register for ALL the giveaway items by leaving a comment each day. Oh… BTW – I got several emails yesterday from people who said they weren’t able to leave a comment. I think I’ve fixed that problem now, so you should be able to leave comments here for each blog post.

NOTE: I have one announcement here today – if you listen to Book Bites for Kids every weekday afternoon at 2:00 CST, you should know that there will be no show today. However, join us tomorrow when Nancy I. Sanders will be my guest. She’ll talk about her new book America’s Black Founders and tell us all about the virtual book tour you can follow right now for this wonderful book!

Now, please leave a comment to register for today’s giveaway. Then visit the next blog on our Childlren’s Writers’ Blog Chain – GrierCooper.com – by clicking right here!

Shoelaces

An African American girl describes the joys of all different kinds of shoelaces in this Rookie Reader beginning reader.

All Rookie Readers actively engage young readers, encouraging language development, building fluency, and promoting independent reading. By targeting a skill, like learning about rhymes, young readers are building fundamental reading skills with the help of fun, lively, colorfully illustrated stories.

Pennies

Rookie Readers are easy readers designed for children who are just learning to read. In PENNIES, readers find out why one little girl needs to find just ONE more penny so she’ll have a nickel.
