What is better than all the Black Friday bargains? A chance at some free children’s books without ever leaving the house!
Chronicle Books is getting into the spirit of the season with a Happy Haul-idays give-away contest open until December 10, 2010. If you are a blogger, create a list of your favorite Chronicle books (up to $500 worth) and send your URL to the link.
And, if you leave a comment on this post and I win the blogger contest, then you might win too. One blogger and one commenter on the winning post will each win the books listed on that particular blog.
I had fun looking through all the books at Chronicle and figuring out what some of the children I know might appreciate. Of course, my list is full of nonfiction titles, and Chronicle has some very fine ones.

Great list… I’m digging the focus on children’s nonfiction! My own list is here if you want to check it out.
Very nice list! Hope you win, and then me too! 🙂 Thanks! My list is on my blog if you want to comment!
Great idea to concentrate on the non-fic. I love your present graphic! I think my entire family would love the Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Birdsongs in Stereo Sound. Good luck with the giveaway!
Love how creative you got with your list. I’m starting to wish I’d picked a few more kids books after seeing yours. 🙂
An awesome list with a couple of really unusual choices that I haven’t seen anywhere else that I would love to read. Very different–for the most part–from the ones I selected See My List Here but a really delightful list nevertheless.
Smiles,
Teresa
