Children's Book Week 2014

You are reading a scheduled post prepared last week as we are joining the Screen-Free Week Challenge from 05 May to 11 May 2014. We are turning off screens for 7 days and turning on LIFE. Join the fun – just unplug!

We participated in the Kid Lit Giveaway Hop Holiday Extravaganza hosted by Mother Daughter Book Reviews and Youth Literature Reviews in December 2013 and we blessed a copy of The Fourth King to one lucky reader.  This time they are hosting giveaway hop in conjunction with Children's Book Week and we are proud to announce that we will be joining this meaningful event.  We urge you to join us too!  To know more about this read the following Sign-Up information by Mother Daughter Book Reviews.

Are you a children's book or teen literature blogger, an author, a publisher, or a publicist looking to share copies of a fabulous book? Mother Daughter Book Reviews and Youth Literature Reviews are joining forces to provide you with the opportunity to take part in a Blog Hop featuring links to giveaways for fabulous children/teen's books, gift cards, cash, or other prizes. What better way to celebrate Children's Book Week?
