First of all, thanks to all of you who submitted ideas to get our kids reading this summer. I am planning on putting several of your ideas into practice in my home. Our discussion got me thinking about books I have enjoyed reading with my kids, and now I am wondering what books all of you have enjoyed reading with your kids. That brings us to this week’s win-it Wednesday question…..
To enter our Win-It Wednesday contest, answer the question below, either on the blog, on our Facebook page, or on Twitter (hashtag #momagenda). Winner will receive a momAgenda Desktop in her color choice.
Win-It Wednesday Question: What is your favorite childrens’ book? It does not have to be a picture book, or geared toward any particular age group.
(My favorite: The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. Runner-up: Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. Please don’t laugh at me.)
Winner will be chosen at random TONIGHT.
Good luck everyone!
