Submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, October 19, 2014, to tell me which of the items below 
are your favorites. One lucky teacher will win this trio of not too spooky books—just in time for Halloween! In Little Boo, one tiny pumpkin seed tries to be scary, but he doesn’t scare anyone. Then you can count on the frights in Not Very Scary when Melly realizes she’s being followed by one coal-black cat all the way to ten vexing vulture
s. A flip feature in The Monsterator lets readers create their own monsters, just like Master Edgar Dreadbury does with his Monsterator machine. (Update: Congratulations to Lynn, who is the winner of the books!)

I like the IFAW website.
It is hard to choose a favorite! I think the little ones in my classes would love the idea of being Animal Ambassadors best. Thank you for a chance to win the books!
Love all three of the books. I love books that incorporate math, also I think the boys would love to make their own monsters, we could incorporate this with science.
I love Office Depot Office Max. We always need help with organization in Preschool. All your offers are always great. Have a Happy Halloween!

Little Boo gets my vote. We are now reading Halloween Books and all of my students are reading every word with me.
Love office Max and all the offers. And would love the books
I liked the Earth Choice Paper activities, they will be useful with my class.
I love the free wildlife activities & printables! My class would love the books as well!
I signed up for the Animal Ambassador program. It looks like a great way to integrate all kinds of content with a high interest topic! Third graders will love it! I also like the component of environmental literacy and global impact.
I liked “Not Very Scary” It’s still early in the year, still getting to learn my first grade students. This book celebrates the season and is a safe read at school.
I appreciate the opportunity to win books for my class.
Oh my goodness, I have to say the IFAW offer for the 500.00 to Amazon makes me tickled pink! I would love to win that…just thinking of all of the wonderful things I could buy for my classroom makes me so excited!
I like Office Max and Office Depot’s tips and Tricks. I would love to win their grand prize gift card!
Love the cover design of “Little Boo”.
Perfect!
I like the paper and the money for my classroom. This would go a long way.
I’ am interested in all the organizational tips from Office Max and Office Depot.
I would love to have the three Halloween books and the office max deal.
Little Boo! Have my students read to the pre-k and K students!
Very interested in the Organizational Style quiz from Office Depot and the opportunity to win a gift card.
I love little boo! What a cute story.
I love the Monsterator because it allows students to predict and infer while creating their monster!
The gift card would be great to buy things for my class. I love the IFAW materials they are great too.
The Office Depot gift card would be great too!!
