Recently, Cheerios sent me a package of 4 cute books! My 8 year old son loves to read to his little sister. He would read to his little brother but he isn’t as into like lil sis is!

Just this past week, I was telling my kids how I used to love spending summers in the library. My mom worked there when I was younger and I would tag along in the summers and it was the best place for a book worm like me to be!

So, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about Cheerios Spoonful of Stories program. Over the past seven years, Cheerios has given away more than 35 million children’s books by distributing them inside cereal boxes for FREE and nearly $3 million to non profit First Book, which provides books to children from low-income homes.

Cheerios is also looking for potential writers for children’s books. The Cheerios Spoonful of Stories New Author Contest encourages unpublished up and coming children’s book authors. Entries are being accepted from now until July 15, 2009. Winner will receive a $5,000 cash price and have the opportunity to have their book reviewed by Simon & Shuster Children’s Publishing.

You may have already found “The Great Dog Wash” inside a box of Cheerios as they are in 1.5 million boxes!

In addition to the book set I received, I have a set of 4 books to giveaway to one of you!
