Tastes Like Music Giveaway
Prize courtesy of Owlkids.
We’re really excited about this new book, Tastes Like Music. It’s full of fun and amazing facts about the human brain and body. For example, did you know that some people have the ability to see one hundred million colours? And others can hear music when they taste chocolate!
Tastes Like Music is written by Maria Birmingham, who writes OWL’s “Weird Zone” every month. This makes us even more excited about this new book. So guess what? We’re giving away THREE copies!
For your chance to WIN one, just tell us one cool fact that you’ve learned recently.
It can be about anything, from science and space to animals and music. For example, I recently learned that jellyfish existed long before the dinosaurs!
You can answer in the comments below, or email us at owlblog@owlkids.com.
Contest closes on Wednesday, September 24 at 11:59pm. Three winners will be randomly chosen and announced on the blog on Thursday, September 25. Full contest rules and regulations can be seen here.
Good luck!
