Friday Giveaway: 24 Children's Books: contest closed


As it turns out, I like to give things away on my birthday. Here was last year's:

http://www.forgottenbookmarks.com/2010/11/birthday-giveaway.html

Who am I to argue with tradition?

On to this year - the turnout for the last children's book giveaway was great, so I thought I would do it again.

Contest closed, announcing winner shortly.

Good luck!
