We’ve recently been given the opportunity to review 4 stories from Cheerios-Spoonful of Stories: When Dinosaurs Came with Everything, The Great Dog wash (also in Spanish), Monkey and Me (also in Spanish) and Duck for President. The stories are adorable and 2 of them are written in Spanish and English. Of course Ryans’ favorite is When Dinosaurs Came with Everything! These books are a perfect size for traveling. They are great to bring to doctors appointments in the diaper bag, etc.An excerpt straight from Spoonful of Stories:
“Over the past seven years, Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories has given away more than 35 million children’s books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated nearly $3 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families.
In addition to encouraging children to read, Cheerios is looking for anyone interested in writing children’s books. Now in its third year, the Cheerios Spoonfuls of Stories New Author Contest is a way to encourage previously unpublished, up-and-coming children’s book authors and to continue to nurture a love of reading. Entries are being accepted March 16 through July 15, 2009 and will be judged on appropriate story and content for children ages 3-8, emotional connection, writing quality, uniqueness, and read-aloud potential. More details on the contest can be found at www.spoonfulsofstoriescontest.com.”
As you can tell Spoonful of Stories is an amazing program. I encourage any of you that have thought about or have written a potential childrens story to visit the website and submit it!
I have the opportunity for you to win your very own gift set from spoonful of cheerios including the stories I mentioned.
