Every child has one of those books. The ones they never tire of, insist being read over and over and over again.
For us, it used to be Where The Wild Things Are. Now it's Parrot Carrot. I received a copy several weeks ago from the illustrator, Jon Foye and showed it to Hunter.
We read it once, then twice and before I knew it, we'd read it so many times we could both recite the entire book. The best part was that Hunter belly laughed each and every time we read it.
It's his new favourite book. There's also a great iPhone app you can download for your kids.
I have a copy of Parrot Carrot to give away to one lucky reader.
For your chance to win, leave a comment on this post explaining why you would love a copy of Parrot Carrot. Entries must be received by 9:00am Monday, 12 December 2011.

First many thanks for your nice blog and for the giveaway :)
Then why I would like to win this cute book ? To teach my little daugther English (yes we are French !) as my mum did for me a couple of years ago...

we love books in our house and there is nothing better than watching my 4 year old read to his 2.5 year old brother. This looks the perfect sort of book for those times (easy to memorise and fun for both).
Thanks for you generosity.
