      Wow I’m the first commenter on your new site. Hope your new site goes well. I’ll link you on my blog soon.
      It’s a hard choice. I have to say Tickle the Duck. It’s the first blog entry I read and the book sounds like it would be really fun for both my girls. I was tempted to say Magic Beach as Alison Lester is my eldest’s very favourite author.

      Congrats on your site. Now about that book give-away. I am always on the lookout for children’s history books for my blog, http://www.historyforchildren.blogspot.com, so, of course, I would love to get my hands on Stone Girl Bone Girl :)

      We’d love to win “Not Last Night But The Night Before.” It sounds like a fun book with great pictures.

      Bookmarking your new site, hope it goes great for you.
      I think “Tickle the Duck” would be my choice as it’s the sort of book that would definitely appeal to my little one just now.

      I am brand new to your site but I will definitely be returning — I’m always looking for book related activities for my kids since we live at our local library :-)

      My kids would love Rotten and Rascal I think since they both love dinosaurs.

      If Not for the Cat by Prelutsky would be my choice. We don’t own any of his books yet and really should own a couple written by the first US Children’s Poet Laureate!
