Cheerios 100,000 Book Giveaway (closed)

I am about to share a flooring statistic with you. Did you know that over 80% of childcare centers serving low income families lack age appropriate books? 80%! Also, a recent study showed that the ratio of books per child in middle income neighborhoods is 13 to 1, while low income is 1 age appropriate book per 300 children. When I read that I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I was thrilled to hear that the Cheerios family of cereals along with First Book and Jon Scieszka, author of the popular “Trucktown” series and other children’s books, have joined together to deliver 100,000 books to community-based programs serving children in need.

Cheerios sent me this gift pack (pictured above) through My Blog Spark. I jumped at the chance to spread about this promotion. You need to check out the 100,000 Book Giveaway web page. There, you can take a simple yet fun trivia game. What’s great about this game is that for each question you answer correctly you get a vote for your state! The 5 states with the most votes will each receive 20,000 books to distribute to children in need.

As I mentioned prior, we received the books pictured above. Talk about an enjoyable time. Right before bed time we always take time to read. Adding new books to the mix is always fun! What was even better was that these books came in a pocket sized paperback format. That made them much easier to travel with when we went to see the grandparents! My gracious thanks goes out to Cheerios and My Blog Spark!

One of my lucky readers will receive an assortment of books from Cheerios, a box of Cheerios, and a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. Want to win? Here’s how!
