Today, because it’s Friday…and due to fact that Halloween was yesterday, I am thinking some of you may have blood-red face paint stuck in your bathroom sink, there might be a few burnt out jack o lanterns on your front porch, and you may or may not have consumed more chocolate than you had planned on. No? I guess it’s just me then. 🙂 In any event, the spooky holiday is over and I feel like talking about books rather than food. If you have a strange loathing for books, then come and see my bright and early Monday morning, and we will discuss food in the form of my November Menu Plan. Deal?
For as long as I can remember I have loved books. It’s a little something my mother passed on to me, a hobby we share together I suppose you could say. (You can follow me on GOODREADS by clicking HERE, if you so choose). Books for children are especially fun, and I have a great one to share with you today.
I’m The Scariest Thing In The Jungle, written and illustrated by David Derrick Jr. is a darling children’s book with captivating illustrations and a fun story.
Inside the front cover are sketches of all the different animals that are in the book. My kids had a great time searching for them throughout the story.
You can see MyLittleTwinBoyAaron here trying to copy the sketches. My kids love this book, as do I. I recommend it to any of you with children or grandchildren. It would make a great Chirstmas gift. 🙂 You can buy signed copies, with an original drawing, found HERE. Davids books are also available on Amazon and can be requested at most book stores.
The author, David Derrick Jr. has generously offered to send a signed copy of The Scariest Thing In The Jungle, a copy of his book Sid The Squid, a jungle T-shirt and a flashlight key chain to one of you lucky readers.

Hamilton is by far my favorite book from my childhood. I was terrified of wolves and finally the wolf gets his from a huge pig that tries to eat him!
I really liked On Beyond Zebra as a child.
My favorite book was Fly Homer Fly, by Bill Peet read to me by my daddy. He would also read Bartholomew and the Horrible Ooblick. By Dr. Suess. Loved it when dad read to us!
My boys love it when I read Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathmann. They imitate the faces Gloria is making and then giggle. Love a good book and to hear a good laugh.
My favorite book is “The Kissing Hand”. I am a working mother and I always have kissed my kids hands so they will have it with them all day while I am away!
My littlest loves “No David!”, my oldest loves the Boxcar series, and my middle, Jonah, he looooooves any book with wild animals!!! He would absolutely love everything in this giveaway! Love your blog!
We love “The Big Red Barn”…we love it so much it had to be duct-taped back together more than once!
I love children’s books, but one of my favorites is Where the Wild Things Are, but my grandson’s current favorite is Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.
My favorite children’s books are written my Robert Munsch…..Love You Forever and The Paper Bag Princess are just two!
A favorite in my house is Karma Wilson’s “Bear Wants More”. The whole series is great, and I love the illustrations!
