Lovely Monday morning here in San Antonio... My nasturtiums are flourishing in the front yard, and the boy's birthday is just around the corner. (As you long time readers know, I mostly only buy new books on special occasions, and this year the birthday purchases are Uncle, The Wonderful O and the most definitely not vintage third book in the Hiccup series, How to Speak Dragonese.) That said, today is a great day to give away this vintage copy of Petunia by Roger Duvoisin that's been staring me in the face all weekend. I know I've given it away before, but it's one of those books I can't say no to when I find it. To be entered to win this gently-loved but still awesome hardcover, simply comment on this post before 11:59 PM on Sunday night, April 25. A winner will be selected at random and announced the next morning.As for last week's give of Sir Toby Jingle's Beastly Journey... the winner is Tracysweetangl. E-mail me at webe(at)soon(dot)com with your info and the book will be yours. Thanks for reading gang. See you in a bit.

So cute! Hope I win!
Loved this one as a kid!
I've never seen this book before! I'd love to share it w/ my girls.
Gosh Darn it.... I just feel like this book should be mine. ARRGG
Oooh-ooh! Pick me! Pick me! Everyone should have Petunia in their home library.
Oh wow! One of my all-time faves. My kids would LOVE this!
Sounds like a great book!
A second chance? Lovely! Only problem is I am going out and won't be back in time to check up on the result :(
I love, love, love this book! I read it with my 1st graders when I go over book care at the beginning of the school year.
Thanks for the chance! Loved this one as a kid & would love to share it with my children!
That's a great book. I haven't read that one in a long time!
Just so you know, I don't need a copy of the book, so please leave me out of the drawing. I would hate to take it away from someone who really wants it.
We would love to have this--thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday to your little guy. I love birthday books.
We have this out from the library right now and my kids adore it. Would love to have a copy of our own.
I'm not familiar with this one, but I'd love to win it!

A perfect choice for a give-away. We have many of his books (he's fast become my favorite illustrator) but am missing this one...fingers crossed.
Gotta love Petunia. Haven't seen it since my own childhood.
We don't have this lovely in our collection but would love to. Thanks!
I don't know this one but would love to learn about it. Thank you for the opportunity!
adorable book!
Petunia is wonderful and the Happy Lion and most Roger Duvoisin books, great choice.todba
Can you believe we've never read "Petunia"?? We do enjoy Duvoisin though! Thanks for the chance!
I love Duvoisin! This would be a great addition to my children's books collection...
We love checking this treasure out from the library. It would be fun to own...
Petunia is a classic. Thanks for the opportunity!
Gosh...this would be a fantabulous win!
Would love this book for my little bookworm Katie (who also loves to chase the geese at our local park)
Please enter me ~ this looks like such a cute book!
I didn't know this one either (what a sad childhood I had! Good thing I didn't know it!), so I went and read your review. It sounds wonderful. Thanks so much for the chance.
Hi - just found your website when looking for the book "Tell me some more..." One of the best things about becoming pregnant was realizing I could read all my favorite books to my child (due date 4/28/10, so wish me luck! :)), and Petunia is one of my favorite books! My mom still jokes that I hoard more books than I read, though I think that's unfair ;) You have such a great site - thanks for keeping it up!
Loved this book when I was a kid. Thanks for the chance.
Cute, and we don't have it!!
im sure my daugther would love this book.

I've never heard of this one, but the cover got me!
Lovely! Thanks for the chance.
We haven't heard of this one, but my daughter loves ducks! Thanks for the chance.
Hey,
Looks like a fun book. It would be a nice one help start my newborn's library.
