THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS
*Congratulations to Beth H*
In our home, as soon as you sit down anywhere someone will bring over a book, or two for you to read. We’re a family of book lovers and use the library frequently to keep up with our habit. We love to give books as presents over toys as it’s such a precious gift and a great escape. Since books fuel the imagination and give rise to amazing pretend play scenarios we have a lot of books all over the house here.
By far our favorite books are those from Barefoot Books.
Barefoot books has a large range of books from timeless classics and poems to contemporary upbeat, multicultural books. All of them beautifully illustrated and with memorable story lines. We especially love that many of the books have singalong cds. The kids play them in their room or we put them on when we’re in the car especially when we’re doing all those stops about town. Listening to stories and rhymes not only entertains them but helps improve their listening & memory skills. All the while bopping to a catchy tune or story.
There’s something about listening to a story that draws you into the story. You can’t beat it.
Books always make a great gift for kids. But which ones to choose? That decision is a lot easier this year with the fantastic gift collection range of Barefoot Books. Your favourite books altogether with a handy reusable bag for moving those books with you wherever you go.
For this giveaway I’ve selected the Readalong singalong gift set. This is perfect for the under 5s.
Gift set includes:
Animal Boogie
Journey home from Grandpa
Farmyard Jamboree
All with singalong Cds with the book.
Whatever your purse size this holiday time there are a range of prices to suit everyone.
Gift sets are new. Perfect for siblings, cousins, teacher gifts and birthdays.
Gift collections are new. They are a larger collection of books based around a theme like storytime or baby. Perfect for Class gifts, shower gifts and family gifts.

I like the book ABC Alligator. I have been working with my son (almost 3yo) to tech him the alphabet. I have been looking for as many creative tools as I can find. This book would be perfect!

I agree with your assessment of Barefoot books turning out excellent children’s books. One of our favorites is Ship Shapes, the board book that makes shape finding fun. It is colorful and lovely, which is appreciated at our house.
What a great giveaway you are hosting. Love, love, love books. Thanks!
