It’s November! That means you have to think about what to buy for a bunch of kids for the holidays. We celebrate Christmas, but our friends Noah and Madison celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah and other people do Kwanzaa and other people don’t do holidays, but still buy their kids things. So we’re going to try to post a review every weekday in November to help you with your gift lists. Also, we have tons of things to give away like books, DVDs, and games.
Here is our first pre-holiday book review (I think we’re going to try to do books all week long, but I can’t remember if that’s true or not). It’s a huge book called The Way We Work by David Macaulay. It’s not the kind of thing we like. But watch the video because my mom says it’s a really good book and lots of people might like it.
And now for our giveaway!
We’re giving away a different big book. It’s called The Bill Martin Jr. Big Book of Poetry. It’s a huge book filled with poems that were picked by Bill Martin Jr. To enter the contest, just leave a comment telling us what your favorite book is. If you’re a grown-up, tell us what your favorite book was when you were a little kid. We’ll announce the winner on Monday, November 10th.

My personal favorite is “There Are Rocks in My Socks!” Said the Ox to the Fox by Patricia Thomas. I still have an original copy from 1979.
