Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know I did. The Muppets did not disappoint, though we never did make it out to see Hugo. The turkey was moist. The leftovers abundant. And I just bundled my last relative up and sent her on her way. Good times.That brings me to...
The Great Holiday Give is here.
Yayyyy!!!!!
I will be giving away a different reprint every day, brand new and ready for regifting to that special someone in your life.
To celebrate Tomi Ungerer's 80th birthday today, I thought we would start off with his holiday classic, Christmas Eve at the Mellops.
Phaidon sent a copy of the reprint, hot off the presses, for one lucky reader. All you have to do to be entered to win is comment on this post by 11:59 PM Sunday, December 4. A winner will be selected at random and announced (along with all the other winners from the week) on Monday, December 5.
The Great Holiday Give lasts all week, so be sure and check back each day to find out about a new vintage reprint and enter to win a different book.
Day Two: Professor Wormbog in the Search for the Zipperump-a-zoo by Mercer Mayer
Day Three: Kangaroo for Christmas by Jim Flora
This book was sent to me by the publisher to giveaway, but I don't think I need to tell you that this in no way educated my opinion of the publisher or the title in question. I've been bragging on this book since the beginning of time!
Good luck everyone!

Hello Burgin, I don't have any Tomi Ungerer's books yet. It's so hard to find here. Hope to get this book from you! And I love pig too :)

Love this blog! Love Ungerer even more!
Someday I have to find a Mellops book.

I think I have to check who Ungerer is, I can not remember now, but it sounds familiar.
LOVE LOVE LOVE his book as a child and it was long forgotten until today!
