First, if you’re a winner and it’s a prize coming from me, if you haven’t received it yet, don’t fret. All prizes are going in the mail tomorrow. I had to wait until I had the envelopes and stuff to make sure that the prizes would be delivered safe and in one piece.

Second, the book winners from Random House. Wow – you all really liked them. The most popular was by far Wynken, Blynken and Nod, but they were all popular. So, here are the winners:

Ma! There’s Nothing to Do in Here, by Barbara Park goes to Elsie, who left a comment on July 13.

My Baby and Me, by Lynn Reiser and Penny Gentieu, goes to  BariV, who came by on July 8.

And the winner of Wynken, Blyken and Nod, by Eugene W. Field, is….. Amy, who stopped in on July 1.

Congratulations all! I will be sending you an email for your address. If you don’t get back to me within two weeks, I’ll draw another name so please be sure to check your junk mail folders.

Tidy time at Womb Within – book winners!

And, of course, the best way to raise readers is to expose them to books and read to them as much as you can. So, in the spirit of helping promote the love of books, I’ve been given 3 books from Random House to give away to Womb Within visitors.

The first book is Ma! There’s Nothing to Do Here! A Word from your Baby-in-Waiting (Picture Book) by Barbara Park. The book has lovely colorful drawings by Viviana Garofoli and was written by Ms Park after being inspired by seeing an ultrasound of her unborn grandchild.

The second book is called My Baby and Me and it’s written by Lynn Reiser and accompanied by photos taken by Penny Gentieu. The photos are amazing and a few of them are downright fabulous. Really nicely done.

And last, but not least, I have Wynken, Blynken, and Nod, by Eugene W. Field, with illustrations by Giselle Potter.

If you would like to have one of these books, leave a comment below telling me which book you would like and why. One book per comment please. You can request to be in the draws for all three if you would like, but each has to be in a separate comment so I can divide them up according to who wants which book(s). In two weeks, on July 14th, I’ll randomize the comments according to book and award all three books to the winners. (by the way – comments like “just send it to me” don’t qualify!!)

Please be sure that I can contact you by leaving a legitimate email address and by keeping a look out for my email if you are the winner.

If you don’t win but would still like a copy of the books, the links above will bring you to Amazon.com.

Good luck!
