Giveaway Thursday: Little Books Series


As you know, I LOVE children’s books. Seriously, Elias has more books than we can ever read in a week. But with a daddy who is an author and a mommy who is a voracious reader, it really comes as no surprise, does it?

This week I am thrilled to give away two sets of the Little Books series, thanks to Chronicle Books. Right now they are hosting an awesome Happily Ever After contest in conjunction with the series. You can win amazing prizes including a dream room from Pottery Barn Kids!




Little Pea, Little Oink and Little Hoot are the sweetest stories all about little vegetables/animals who want to do the opposite of what their parents want them to do (but the opposite is what we want our kids to do! For example, Little Oink doesn’t want to mess up his room, he wants to clean it! Seriously, do you not love that concept?

Each book’s illustrations are darling too. You can even send e-cards featuring the illustrations from the Little books.

You can watch the beginning of Little Oink below.

I think the concept is so creative and will love talking about the characters with Elias when he is a little older. You can buy the Little books on Amazon or at any bookstore.

To enter to win a set of books, tell me which storyline you like best:

  • Little Oink who wants to clean his room instead of mess it up
  • Little Hoot who wants to go to bed at night instead of stay up
  • Little Pea who wants to eat healthy instead of eat junk food

  35. I like the Little Oink story about cleaning up. I have been trying to get my 3-year old involved in cleaning up her room.

  41. I love Little Pea – we call our daughter Sweet Pea and are all about eating healthy, especially with my husband being an avid mountain biker. Thanks so much for sharing this series – too cute!

  57. These books look adorable!!

    I like the going to bed one best, I think. Annalyn turns 2 in a month, and we've considered making the move from crib to bed – but I just can't imagine we'll EVER get her to stay in bed!! 🙂

  65. These books are adorable! I love that little pea wants to eat healthy instead of junk food. My hubby and I are trying to eat better just so our children will have better habits.

  72. Jessica, I'm so glad you are featuring these books! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I even featured them on a favorites list on my own blog a while ago. My absolute favorite is Little Hoot. The pictures are are just as adorable as the story!

  73. Oh, what to pick…all are battles we have at our house! Messy rooms, late bedtimes, and junk food. I think I like the messy room the best.

  80. I'd say my favorite storyline is Little Hoot who wants to go to bed instead of stay up. My toddler is fighting bedtime right now and this would be perfect to read him.

  94. What a cute idea for books! I like "Little Hoot" – who wouldn't want their kids to want to go to bed? 🙂

    If I don't win, I may have to go buy them for myself anyway! Or if I do win maybe I'll buy them for an upcoming baby shower too!

  102. #1 I LOVE the idea from Little Pea… how cute to encourage kids to eat healthy… reminds me of the Veggie Tales little peas too!

    Reply

  103. We are HUGE book fans at our house too! I really like Little Pea who wants to eat healthy instead of eat junk food as I struggle to get my 3 year old to eat!

  108. Eating heathly for sure! I don't know why such a stigma is put on kids that heathly foods are gross. Let kids have a chance to try good foods and they will like them! (Mostly;)

  119. Oooh, that's a hard choice, but I think I would have to choose Little Pea who wants to eat healthy instead of eat junk food. My little girl loves her some ice cream, chicken nuggets, brownies, McDonalds, etc, etc, etc. She could use a good dose of health food!

  167. That's a tough one. I love the little Pea one, but since my son never wants to go to bed at night, Lil' Hoot sounds good too. (though, not to leave out lil' pig). Oh, I've never been very good at making decisions.

  200. My fav is Little Hoot who wants to go to bed at night instead of stay up. This is so my kids. They never want to go to sleep. They are always afraid they might miss something.

  202. I have to go with the Little Hoot storyline, because we have major sleep issues around here. But, my son loves peas, so I know he'll love that one.

    Reply

  203. I love "Little Hoot". I have yet to read these books so it would be great to win them. Thanks

  207. I think the little Hoot One sounds good. My kids sometimes want to stay up, so this would be a good one about Little Hoot who wants to go to bed at night instead of stay up!

    Reply

  208. Little Oink! Parents can pretty much control what their kids eat. And eventually kids will get tired. But cleaning up after them? I dread it! Teaching kids to clean up after themselves is a great life skill and a great gift for parents!

    As an aside, I grew up getting yelled at because my room was a "pig-sty," so I especially love that the clean-up book is about little "oink!"

  213. I like Little Pea's story, as it seems to speak to my son. He's not necessarily a junk food eater, just not much of an eater period. These books are adorable and I like the lessons that they teach.

    Reply

  220. It looks like I have a little night owl in my 6 month old so I like the Little Hoot who wants to go to bed at night instead of stay up.

  235. I'm all for the Little Pea who wants to eat healthy instead of eat junk food. My little girl will not eat veggies. No matter how I try to sneak them in, she detects them and refuses. sheesh!

    Reply

  236. All of them! I guess I'll go with Little Hoot, since bedtime is a constant struggle in our house!
