Dk books are my kids favorites. Thanks for a chance at these.
Always great offers. Can’t wait to get a copy of the Pennies for the Planet kit for my class. Thanks!
I am a huge fan of non-fiction books for kids..no matter what age! They are fascinated with animals,space,dinosaurs,skeletons,etc. What a great
opportunity to expand their horizons in learning!
I enjoy anything by Eric Carle. Susan

I absolutely adore Eric Carle!
Magic Tree House, I love those books!
Wow, you have some awesome things to win. I love the Magic Trees House series and have some of it for my studens. We learn about habitats in third grade, so the starter kit is a wonderfulplace to start. I love Eric Carle since I was in college and we had to pick a favorit author to study,and would love to read the Little Brainwaves books. Thanks for offering these great prizes!!! Well and you have the same name as me, Karen!!
In this time of budget cuts, winning the two books from the Little Brainwaves series would be really great. DK publishes great books for kids.
Thank you for sharing the teaching guide for the new Eric Carle book. I am sure I will buy it soon as my class loves his books!
it would be wonderful to be a winner of this book set!
Oh gosh, my kiddos love learning about animals! They are always curious to learn more things and I want to make sure they learn all they can!
i love this set of books about animals. My three year olds would love it.
Awesome and whimsical. Great books to use in the classroom!
I’d love to win these books & use them with my class of older 2s & young 3s. 🙂
Do the Little Brainwave Series have internet links incorporated throughout the book? My Kindergarteners love it when we extend our lessons by looking online at videos or relevant websites!
LOVE this idea. I had already signed up for the Magic Tree House contest because we are planning a MAgic Tree House birthday party this weekend so I was trolling their site. I’m sure to post photos about our party this Nov.
Would love these books since we homeschool our kids. Thanks for this contest!
