In this techie world we live in, I fear that we are losing the importance of reading to our children and grandchildren because let’s face it, a lot of times they would rather play video games or watch something. And when Mom and Dad are tired at the end of a busy day it’s sometimes easier to just give in.
We need to instill a love of reading in our kids and the best way to do that is by reading to them when they are young. Reading opens up new worlds and allows our children’s imaginations to soar!
March is National Reading Month so there couldn’t be a better time than this to offer a giveaway of 3 new children’s books. I received these books as a gift (I received no remuneration for reviewing them) and now I want to offer these 3 books to you in a giveaway package.
These books are in the current giveaway:

It is so important to read to your child. My grandson is in the first grade and I’m amazed at how well he reads. He has had books read to him since birth. It makes a huge difference.
I agree, it does make a huge difference both in their ability to read and their desire to read. Reading is knowledge!
I love Harry Potter! My son loves the movies and I can’t wait for him to get into the books!
We would love to see them choosing to read over watching television or playing video games, wouldn’t we. I hope your son will start reading the books again soon.
My favorite children’s book is The Velveteen Rabbit
That’s a wonderful book!
My favorite children’s book is Good Night Moon
My grandchildren also loved “Good Night Gorilla”!
I really like all children’s books. Dr Seuss, Pete the Cat, Pinkalicious. My kids have a ton of stories to choose from so story time is never boring.
That’s wonderful, I’m so glad to hear that and that you read to them!
My 2 year old daughter loves to read books and loves it when I read to her. My favorite book would have to be the Going to Bed book by Sandra Boynton. She is so creative and my daughter and I laugh as we read it.
I’m happy to hear that she loves to read. Obviously you have fostered that love in her; that’s wonderful! I will be putting a new book giveaway up this week and it will include “How to Put Your Parents to Bed”. Cute book!
We love Pete the Cat series and No David
Great, I will giving away a Pete the Cat book in an upcoming giveaway!
My favorite children’s book is- Bear Snores On
That is a cute book! My grandchildren and I recently heard it at storytime!
Pete the Cat💜❤️💛💚💙
Very popular book series! We have one in an upcoming book review!
My girls LOVE the Pinkalicious books!
Wonderful series for little girls. Good luck with winning this one!
My favorite childrens book is Big Sarah’s Little Boots!
I haven’t read that one. My interest is sparked, I will look for it at the library!
I have always loved Amelia Bedelia books. I have a 9 month old now and read to her all the time. I hope to make her love books as much as I do!
I truly believe that reading to her will accomplish that.
I’m a librarian and love children’s books. I have always liked the Berenstain Bears.
They were my son’s favorites and now are one of his children’s favorites!
My favorite children’s book is The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar 🙂
It is loved by many!
we are reading to 20 month old Nicholas every day and many times on the weekends. I believe it is very important to read at a young age as it gives them a sense of reading all the time instead of tv.
I agree with you. I believe too that even if they stop reading quite as much as teenagers, they will return to their love of reading as they grow a little older and wiser!
We love pinkalicious- can’t wait to read the others!
Pinkalicious is a favorite of many. Good luck!
Anything by Dr. Seuss!!
His birthday was just celebrated!
My daughter loves the alphabet dictionary books, as she can see many different things in same book. She isn’t patient enough for me to read a story yet, so these books work really well.
My granddaughter also like those and wanted to look at them over and over when she was younger.
James and the giant peach. I love to reead to my daughter.
Good for you Robert, you will always be glad that you did.
the grandkids love The Cat in the hat, the little mermaid, The real story of the 3 little pigs
Isn’t it fun to share books with our grandkids!
I would love to win these for my son,he loves reading and loves books. Reading to young children helps nurture a love of learning and
instilal it in them at a young age so when they grow up they will take it with them and develop their own reading skills and love books for their entire lives
I am in complete agreement with you!
We grew up with Little Golden Books but one of my favorite was Huey , Duey, and Luey. Because they were always getting into trouble but they didn’t mean too. I have two sisters and we are very close in age. And even though we fought like cats and dogs. We had each others backs.
Little Golden Books, a great childhood memory! I have 3 sisters as well and we definitely did our fair share of fighting. Now they are my best friends!
My favorite children’s book is I love You Forever.
Sweet book about a mother’s love!
I love the old school Winnie the Pooh!! My son’s favorite is I love you stinky face 🙂
Like you, I really like the old school Winnie the Pooh!
My boys love anything Dr. Suess
Isn’t he special! He has brought laughter to generations of kids!
