Happy Haul-idays from Chronicle Books : You and I Could Win Books Worth $500

You know I love books. You know I love children's books, so it's not as if I could really pass up a chance to win a pile of books from Haul-i-days with Chronicle Books worth $500! Chronicle Books is an independent publisher that offers bright, colorful, creative and innovative books for children (they have books for grown-ups too but I love the childrens books most). My kids and I own and frequently enjoy several books published by Chronicle Books. We especially love the boxes of letter block books and learning block books that Neal got for Christmas when he was just a baby--read them or build a tower. They really are irristible. I dare you not to pick them up--even if you're a grown up.


So, if I win the contest for a 500 dollar book shopping spree, this is the list of books I would pick: (If I win, one of you will win these books too.)
