Here we are for the third holiday giveaway sponsored by Scholastic. Give the gift of reading to your grandchild this holiday season by participating in this giveaway! Scholastic books make the perfect stocking stuffer for any grandchild on your list.

Scholastic has a HUGE prize pack filled with the most popular children’s books in the marketplace that I am offering one of my lucky readers! Titles in this giveaway pack (valued at $89.75) include:

• CAPTAIN SKY BLUE
• IT’S CHRISTMAS DAVID
• OOK and GLUK
• TONY BALONEY
• ODIOUS OGRE
• I SPY CHRISTMAS

Here’s a wee bit o’ information about two of the books in the gift pack.

It’s Christmas David
Christmas is coming, and Santa Claus is making his list. David is trying to be good, but when the house is filled with candy canes, Christmas cookies and beautifully wrapped gifts, it’s very hard to stay out of trouble! From wayward snowballs to the sleepless excitement of Christmas Eve, best-selling author David Shannon perfectly captures the joy and laughter of the holiday season.

Captain Sky Blue
Santa brings Jack his best toy pal, Captain Sky Blue, a pilot. Sky speaks in Pilot Talk (“Roger! Wilco!”). After a thunderstorm separates Sky and his buddy (“Mayday!”), Sky is abducted by a whale, then left alone to wander a frigid ocean floor until he chances upon a very special place, a place where he’s been before (“Now I’m spooled up!”). Captain Sky Blue thinks he has finally found an easy way home, but first he must help Santa out on Christmas Eve –a challenge that puts his pilot skills to the test! From Caldecott Medal Winner author Richard Egielski.
