Great Monday Give: Christmas Golden Books

This week's Great Monday Give is a nice three-way Little Golden Book prize package that includes vintage, scribbled-on, well-loved but still great reading copies of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa's Toy Shop and The Night Before Christmas. To be entered to win these too-cute-for-words titles, simply comment on this post before Sunday, December 14 at midnight.

The winner of last week's give of A House is a House for Me using the trustly blind scroll and point method is Swati! The minute you can muster the strength (lest the thrill of the win has zapped your energy entirely) please e-mail me at webe(at)soon(dot)com with your mailing address so I can send out your prize right away.

That said, have a practically perfect day. (My boy's been tapping the Mary Poppins a bit too much.)

  28. Children of today seem to be "rediscovering" Enid Blyton, which rather surprised me because I always found it took a good two-thirds of the book for any real action to occur. Look for copies from the sixties or earlier. Anything later isn't genuine Blyton. Blyton wasn't actually a very good writer but she had one great virtue: she never preached to children as so many writers of today do (it's getting worse than in Victorian days when every story had to have a "moral") but set out merely to entertain, which is what all fiction for children should be about.

  31. Golden Books are a timeless classic loved by a certain little boy I know :) What could be better than 3 wonderful, well loved Chritmas themed ones? If I am selected to win these books, I know they will put a smile on his face as well as that of whomever reads them to him.
