It’s the first Friday in February, and that means it’s giveaway time! This month’s giveaway is all about color—colorful pens, colorful markers, colorful stickers, colorful notepads. Oh, and there’s also an adorable plush giraffe that’s looking for a home. The giraffe appeared in the Dr. Seuss tale And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. I’m thinking that if given the chance, he could also star in Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae and Guy Parker-Rees!
Since this giveaway is all about color, leave a comment on this blog that tells us your favorite color and you’ll be entered for a chance to win February’s giveaway prize. Just be sure to leave your comment before midnight February 12, 2017. We’ll announce the winner right here on the blog, and we’ll also notify the winner at the email address used to submit the comment.
Happy February!
Diane
