I've been out of town for a week and although I did manage to read through a couple of books, I haven't had a change to write up reviews yet. So while I'm waiting for a moment to write my thoughts up on a few titles, why don't we have a little giveaway, eh?
You might recall that I read Chitty Chitty Bang Bang last year and absolutely loved it. In fact, I loved it so much that I listed it as one of my top favorite reads for the year 2013. I think everyone ought to make time to enjoy the pleasure that is this story.
Candlewick Press recently released a 50th year hardback edition
of this book and I asked them if they'd be willing to host a giveaway for my readers here at Reading to Know. They were very agreeable and so I am excited to offer you a chance to win a copy for yourself.Whether you win or not, I highly recommend this read to you. It is so fun, imaginative and quirky. Yes, I would totally gift a copy of this book this Christmas to any number of people with small children because it's a fun story (which is not at all like the movie, by the way). Can't recommend it highly enough.

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the title, I smiled. Monica used to LOVE that movie, and I don't recall it being my fave. Don't think I ever read the book. Glad you enjoyed it!
