Book Review + Giveaway: The Story of Gigantosaurus

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

Hey readers,

Based off the Disney Channel and Disney Junior TV series, The Story of Gigantosaurus is about four dinosaur friends who set off on a Gigantosaurus hunt! They’re in for a wild adventure as they search far and wide, meeting all kinds of dinosaurs along the way.

We asked Abbott, 7, to tell us what he thought about this book. Check out his review below!

“This book was good. I liked when they were inside the giant dinosaur’s mouth. My favourite part was how they kept on running into different dinos. If other kids didn’t know about dinosaurs they might not like this book but if they know how to pronounce dinosaur names they will like it. There is a TV show, too.”

Thanks for the review, Abbott!

For a chance to WIN 1 of 4 prize packs including The Story of Gigantosaurus, Gigantosaurus: The Lost Egg, and Gigantosaurus: Don’t Cave In, comment below your age, name, and favourite dinosuar!

Book Giveaway: Where Are You Now?

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

Hey readers,

Where Are You Now? is a beautiful picture book written and illustrated by Tyler Clark Burke. Told in simple and poetic verse, this story explores what happens to things that have vanished from our lives, be it the setting sun, melting snowflakes, or an eaten apple. The story encourages kids to look for what has disappeared in other places. For instance, sunlight is reflected on the moon, snowflakes turn into water, and seeds from an apple core can grow into a tree. The book also opens the door to conversations about loss and difficult times of change.

For a chance to WIN 1 of 2 signed copies of this book, tell us your name and age in the comments below.

Contest deadline: November 13 @ 11:59 p.m.

Book Review and Giveaway: When Molly Drew Dogs

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

If you’re looking for a new book to read check out When Molly Drew Dogs by Deborah Kerbel. It’s a story about a girl who draws dogs when she feels nervous and how it helps her handle her feelings, even though some people think it’s a strange habit. Let’s hear what Chirp readers Clark and Grant thought of this story!

Then scroll down for a chance to win your own copy of this book.

“I like this story because it has dogs in it. If you are afraid of dogs this book helps you see them differently. I like that only Molly can see the dogs because it let’s kids know that it is okay to have an imagination and make what you are dreaming become true. The pictures are different;  they look smudged but they help me think about when I dream. The pictures are like my dreams. I like that. Best Part: The dogs with the hats on made me laugh.” – Clark, 7

“The story was scary sometimes because there is a storm and a bad guy in it but in the end they get rescued by the dogs and that’s not scary. The dogs are funny because they like to play even if Molly doesn’t want them to play.” – Grant, 5

Thanks, Clark and Grant!

To WIN a copy of When Molly Drew Dogs send your first name, age, and one thing you like to draw to chirpblog@owlkids.com or comment on this post.

Good luck, everyone, and happy reading!
