I really would like to get the "Big and Little Box Set" for my daughter. Then as I was scrolling up I saw the book "Baby's Very First Little Book of Little Puppies." Everyday when we go for our walk we see a lot of dogs and my daughter just LOVES them. This would have to be my first seletion. She would LOVE it!!

I can't pass up books! If I were to win I don't think $20 wouldn't be enough- there's simply too many great books.

However, here are some of my favorites: The Secret Garden- picture book (This is my son's favorite book), Stories from Around the World (sounds like a good addition for a classroom), The Wicket Chronicles Book 1 (this looks like a fun series), and the Animal Facts Flashcards...I could keep going, but I have hit the $20 limit.

And I am a follower.

Thanks for all of your fun ideas. I am totally jealous of your creativity! Do you stay up all night dreaming up these things or does it just come to you naturally? :)

We love Usborne books I would probably get either "That's Not My Monkey" for my new little guy. Or go for "The Christmas Jigsaw Book" because my older kids have loved them!

Thanks for the chance to win!

The Usborne books are great! We homeschool and use many of them in science and history. They have great illustrations and information. If I won, I would probably choose a fun book like "50 things to draw and paint" or "1001 Pirate Things to find".

Thanks for the fun givaway!
