Holiday Contest
Sponsored by Little,
Brown and Company
Hi,
it's me, Booker T. Worm. Are you as excited as I am about
the holidays? One way I keep busy while I wait for Christmas,
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's is by reading! Check out
some of the books on my reading list below. Then enter the
Kidsreads.com Holiday Contest and you might win some of these
books for your own bookshelf at home!
We've
picked eight great books, all published by Little, Brown and
Company. To enter the contest, take a look at the books below,
and then send an e-mail to TBRGames@aol.com
telling me which of the books below you would most like to
read.
I
will randomly pick three e-mails from all of the e-mails I
have received, and those three people will win great prizes!
The grand prize winner will win all eight books, worth more
than $100 together. One runner-up will win LIFE: Our Century
in Pictures for Young People, Red Ranger Came Calling, Hanukkah!,
and I Love You Like Crazy Cakes and a second runner-up will
win The Night Before Christmas, The Snow Speaks, and What
Night do the Angels Wander, and Arthur's Perfect Christmas.
The second prizes are worth over $50 each.
You
can enter the contest anytime before January 5, 2001, but
you can only enter once.
 Life:
Our Century in Pictures for Young People
This book chronicles the past one hundred years using photographs
from LIFE magazine. These amazing photos--more than 350 of
them--show the triumphs and disasters, the social progress
and setbacks, the heroes and villains that have brought us
to the year 2000.
 The
Night Before Christmas Illustrated by Tasha Tudor
The classic poem "The Night Before Christmas" is brought to
life by Tasha Tudor, one of America's most beloved illustrators.
Tasha Tudor sets the poem in her home of Vermont, reflecting
the views and objects she experiences every day.
 Red
Ranger Came Calling by Berkeley Breathed
A moody young boy living with his aunt on an island in the
Pacific Northwest, Red sees himself as the "Red Ranger from
Mars," his hero from the movie serials, and cannot picture
life without the gift of a Red Ranger bicycle. Red is far
too swanky a human being to believe in Santa Claus, but nevertheless
he pays a visit to the island hermit Lord Sander Clos, rumored
to be the legendary man himself now living in lonely, joyless
retirement.
 Hanukkah!
by Roni Schotter
A large and loving family enjoys the special traditions of
the "Festival of Lights."
 Arthur's
Perfect Christmas by Marc Brown
Arthur is certain that this Christmas will be perfect -- lots
of snow, a beautiful tree, and a delicious turkey dinner.
But when it doesn't snow, D.W. decorates half the tree with
trolls and unicorns, and Dad decides to make an authentic
ancient Christmas dinner, Arthur isn't so sure anymore. To
make matters worse, he accidentally breaks his gift for Mom!
While Francine happily celebrates Hanukkah, the Brain prepares
for Kwanzaa, and Buster tries to find a holiday of his own,
Arthur starts to think he'll have a terrible Christmas...
until an unexpected guest changes everything.
 I
Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis
Do you know someone who was adopted by his or her parents?
This book tells the story of how one mother found her baby
daughter by traveling to China. The story of that journey,
based on the author's own experience, is a celebration of
the love and joy a baby brings into the home.
 The
Snow Speaks by Nancy White Carlstrpm
This beautifully illustrated tale captures the sights and
sounds of the season's first snowfall and the true meaning
of the holiday season.
 What
Night Do the Angels Wander by Phoebe Storm
One night each year following a flurry of celestial preparation,
all the angels come together for a single purpose. It is a
night of heavenly celebration, one that brings together all
the children and animals of the earth. It is a night filled
with light. It is a night of feasting and music and dancing.
And on this one night when angels wander, if you listen quietly,
you, too, may hear the angels sing--for it's Christmas Eve.
